I have tried those mentioned plugins and as I have experienced, the plugin is not maintained/updated by the plugin author with respect to the latest developments in wordpress and other functionalities.
The major thing is that the plugin clashes with many other features of wordpress plugin and third party plugins making the situation even worse. When installed with Capability Manager Enhanced, the sitemap link of the blog gets broken (WordPress SEO by Yoast enabled Sitemap)
I would really appretiate if you let me know a workaround for this situation. All I need is total control of the “editing link” feature of thirstyaffiliate so that no other user group other than administrator could edit the links.
