That would definately cause troubles on multi-author blogs.
Is it possible to show the widget on the dashboard of a user with Editor rights? Currently it only shows up for an Administrator. I’m using WP3.0 in multisite mode. It works fine except for that point.
I have found the solution to showing the widget to a user with Editor user level rights (and you can guess on how to allow lower users the widget too). After this procedure the dashboard shows the widget when an user is Logged in with Editor user role.
Go to the plugin editor and open the wordpress-dashboard-twitter/wpdt.class.php file. Then, at around line 157 or 158 you’ll see the following:
if( current_user_can('level_10') ) {
Change this line to read:
if( current_user_can('level_7') ) {
and of course add a comment to explain what you did.
This worked for me when using using WP 3.0 and WordPress Dashboard Twitter version 0.8.8
Glad you figured it out, freemancontingent. Sorry for not responding earlier, but I’m experiencing personal issues these days.
Remember to make these changes again after a plugin update. 😉

Thanks freemancontingent! Makes Twitter more useful for my authors! 🙂
Version 1.0 now allows all users to see the Widget, if you set this via plugin settings.
