Hello Robin,
As far as I know, this plugin and the tab user management per group is only accessible to users with the administrator role. But I want to give the user management per group to an editor. Is that possible?
Thank you in advance and best regards, Ben Abbink

it might be – I’m tied up with another thing at the moment, but I’ll take a look later today

there is a filter you can use which will enable editors to see the plugin settings –
```
add_filter ('rpg_plugin_settings_capability' , 'rew_add_editor' ) ;

function rew_add_editor () {
	$cap = 'edit_others_posts' ;
return $cap ;
}
```
Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

This will let them do all the settings in the plugin, hopefully that is ok?

Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
Does it also give a editor the possibility to edit the profile of a user? To add/remove groups from the profile?
Thanks in advance

the plugin gives the ability to manage users for 1 single group in the user management section.

If you want editors to be able to manage users then this is wordpress
