Prevent subscribers from making childs?

    In my eyes, if a subscriber creates a doc and attaches it as child to another doc, he CHANGES that other doc.

    Is it possible to prevent that?

    THANK YOU, kind regards,

    Hi a.r.7-

    Similar to my other answer, if I look in templates/single/docs/edit.php for the section that outputs the “parent doc” form field, I find this line:
    apply_filters( 'bp_docs_allow_parent_doc_setting', true, $doc_id )
    The following code filters that value, allowing contributors and up to use the parent field, excluding subscriber-level users:

    
add_filter( 'bp_docs_allow_parent_doc_setting', 'my_bpd_disallow_parent_field' );
function my_bpd_disallow_parent_field( $retval ) {

    if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
        $retval = false;
    }

    return $retval;
}

    See https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities to see how I chose the capability to check.

    This works fine for me, THANK YOU.

    (In my eyes the best way would be, if everybody could only choose a doc as parent, if he is allowed to edit that doc. Would that be very complicated to implement?)
