# Security settings bug

 * According to the notes on security settings, “A user has a privilege if his role
   is equal or higher than that specified.”
 * So I set “Can see submission data” and “Can edit/delete submission data” to Editor.
   But when logged in as my editor user I could not see it in the menu. However,
   if I set it to Author it worked for both Author and Editor.
 * I tried with all other plugins deactivated, and also activated. Same result.
 * Now it’s not really an issue for me since I don’t use the Author user, and I 
   can use an access manager to hide it for Author if need be. But seems like a 
   bit of a bug.

 * If you have “Allow only Administrators to see CFDB administration screens” set,
   that prevents that menau/page from showing.

 * Yes sure, I have that setting set to False. Only thing I changed was setting 
   those two options to Author or Editor. When set to Editor my editor user couldn’t
   see the menu item, only when set to Author.
 * Actually your documentation is wrong I think.
    “If a user’s role allows him to
   have #2, then he has complete access to see all data. When logged into the WP
   dashboard, he will see the CFDB menus (unless #1 is set to false) ” Surely that
   should say unless #1 is set to true. If #1 (Allow only Administrators to see 
   CFDB administration screens) is set to true then they won’t see the menus, not
   if set to false.
