 * Hi dplum,
 * Avatar Manager uses the WordPress pre-defined [roles and capabilities](https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table).
   Any user with the [`upload_files`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#upload_files)
   capability (allows access to add new media) is able to upload an avatar image(
   which is stored as a media item). To allow/restrict a role to upload files (including
   avatars) you can add/remove the `upload_files` capability from that role. The
   _Anyone can upload_ option simply bypasses this verification allowing users like
   subscribers and contributors to upload an avatar image (roles which doesn’t have
   the `upload_files` capability by default). You can manage roles and capabilities
   programmatically or you can use a plugin like [User Role Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/).
   Please let me know if this helps.
 * Best,
    Cătălin
