# Restrict Cloudinary access based on user role?

 * Is it possible to only allow certain user role to access Cloudinary when uploading
   images via the media modal?
 * We’re looking to build something using front-end forms that utilise the native
   WP uploader and the Cloudinary tab will appear for every user role.
 * I can simply hide the tab using CSS if I have to, but it would be nice if we 
   could restrict certain roles to the regular WP media library only.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@switchdan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/switchdan/),
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * Can you confirm you would like to restrict access to the Cloudinary tab based
   on the pre-defined WordPress user roles?
 * If it is the case, this is not something supported but we can create a feature
   request in order to add this to our roadmap.
 * Looking forward to your update.
    Best, Loic

 * Hi Loic,
 * Thanks for the reply – in our case it would be for some custom user roles we 
   have set up.
 * I suppose it would be ideal if there was a custom Cloudinary capability we could
   use to restrict who should and shouldn’t have access to that tab (similar to 
   the “upload_files” capability for example). We could then assign it to the default
   roles as well as our custom ones.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@switchdan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/switchdan/),
 * Thanks for getting back to me.
 * I will share this information with my team and we will discuss the possibility
   to integrate this.
 * I will get back to you if I have any updates to share.
 * Hope that makes sense.
    Best, Loic
