# Role capabilities management issue

 * A site I am working on uses EM for events mgt and Ultimate Member for membership
   mgt.
    The EM roles and capabilities screen picks up the UM roles fine, allows
   me to chose the UM roles but does not put it into the database. I think as the
   resolved form is always blank for UM capablilites I tried to set. Would be great
   if EM and UM could talk and resolve this or if EM just input the info in the 
   correct table for UM members. Or maybe just added it to the regular wp tables
   for use by the UM plugin and form builders and so on.
 * Best I can describe this. the EM form is great for handling the capabilities 
   though.

 * Hello,
 * You could always Install 3rd Party plugins that handles Capabilities better. 
   One of example is [https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/)

 * Have looked at the plugin. Will test it. Does this plugin override allother rolemangers
   that are installed as part of a specific plugin.
    One client site has 4 different
   role managers as part of specific plugins. At least some of them all operate 
   out of the users and the user meta tables I think rather than a user table in
   their plugin table set.
 * So would this plugin override them all and be the master role and capabilities
   manager?

 * Just a warning. My personal experience is that I was never able to fully uninstall
   it …and I did not appreciate that at all.

 * Updating original information.
    Both EM and UM have their own roles and capabilities
   screens and both plugins are also hooked into the regular WordPress user table
   roles and regular WP capabilities screen. This hookup to the WP Users table echos
   the Ultimate members roles and capabilities screen into Events Managers screen.
   But making changes on the EM screen for the echoed UM roles results in nothing
   being saved in any UM table and also not saved in any EM table. The data in the
   UM part of the EM roles screen just disappears after update of the EM data.
 * Would it be possible to produce a dialog notice that Roles and Capabilities specialized
   to Ultimate Member and any other active plugin with specialized Roles should 
   be adjusted on that plugins screen. And not include any other Roles but those
   for EM and the regular WP Users table in the EM roles screen.

 * at the moment that is not possible out of the box and might need custom coding
   on your part to make this work.
