Hi,
Is this a multisite install or a single site setup?
What level of user does this apply to?
Thanks.
hi,
have you tried user capabilities at Events > Settings > General > User Capabilities ? also, are those users has subscriber role and have you tried disabling other plugins?

I am using a single-site installation.
The respective users have these capabilities (using the “User Role Editor”):

Respectively those capabilities within the Events Manager’s settings:

Yet those users, having the role “Corpsbruder” can all access and modify the Event Calendar’s settings as shown in my first post.
Tanks for any further hints

Update: I just figured out, that the issue is connected to the “list_users” permission within the “User Role Editor”.
If it is set, the issue occures; if not, it doesn’t.
Why is this? :-\
Hiya,
EM doesn’t use the list_users permission at all so it doesn’t make sense that granting that permission would allow users to access the settings.
Is the “Corpsbruder” role a new role that you’ve created, or one of the standard roles?
Thanks,
Phil
list_users is something admins are able to do which also works with MultiSite, so that’s the permission we use rather than activate_plugins.
I replied to someone with the same problem a few days ago, but unfortunately I can’t find it…. basically you can hook into WP, remove our menu item and re-add it with the right capability, see admin/em-admin.php for how we add ours.
Same problem here. Our membership is managed by quite non-technical people who do not have any editing privileges. We want to keep the interface as simple as possible for them.
“hook into WP, remove our menu item and re-add it with the right capability” seems like a lot of added complication for something that should be quite simple. I prefer not to do that — we already have too many tweaks that are a mess to maintain and slow the site down.
Is there no other capability than “list_users” that could be used to test for admin status? That sounds like a defect in wordpress.
Same problem here. In my opinion this is not a solution not even close to one. thanks for reopen
