 * You need to customize file inc/class-wpsm-table-maker.php
 * find
 *     ```
       public function add_menu_items() {
       		$this->page_hook = add_menu_page( __('Table Maker', 'wpsm-tableplugin'), __('Table Maker', 'wpsm-tableplugin'), 'manage_options', $this->page_slug, array($this, 'print_page'), $this->base_url . "/img/icon.png" );
       	}
       ```
   
 * change there “manage_options” to “manage_categories”

 * I don’t like to edit plugins directly since when you update, the edit goes away.
   Is this something I can do in child theme functions or in a user capability plugin?

 * No, you can’t do this changes from theme. I don’t update plugin very often, so,
   you can make this change
