 * Hello.
 * Somebody in the office has set up VFB(not pro) and I need an account for an assistant
   who can manage application forms that were filled out with VFB. I tried creating
   a new user account under WP’s Dashboard, and gave it different roles(author, 
   editor, etc), but it doesn’t seem like any of those roles are capable of interacting
   with VFB. Are admin roles the only ones who can do that? Is there no alternative
   method? Preferably, I’d like to have the “assistant account” that can only work
   with VFB but not access the rest of WP things(like other plugins and admin things).
 * Thanks.
    Jason.

 * Hi Jason,
 * Yes, the free version is only for admins. The Pro version has custom permissions.
   You can [read more about them in the documentation](http://vfbpro.com/documentation/custom-capabilities/).

 * Hello Matthew, thanks for the reply.
 * Would you be able to answer another question?
 * We are using VFB, currently, to take in new applicants. However, we already have
   a db set up with previous applicants and rest of our other data. We want the 
   new applicant forms to be added to our existing one. Is there a way a Pro version
   can also save to our current db? If not, how do you suppose I work this out?
 * Currently, our staff are reading submitted forms from VFB and literally typing
   them in into our existing db one by one. I’d like to remove that human process.
 * Thanks for the help,
    Jason.

 * Check out the available hooks for VFB Pro: [http://vfbpro.com/hooks/](http://vfbpro.com/hooks/).
 * I’d recommend the vfb_after_email action. It will let you access $_POST and you
   can do whatever you need to with the data.

 * Thanks Matthew!
 * I will look through those and see what I can come up with.
