The PublishPress Authors plugin has permissions to control access to the plugin's features.
You can control which user roles have these permissions by installing the PublishPress Capabilities plugin. After installing the PublishPress Capabilities plugin, follow these steps:
- Go “Capabilities” in the WordPress admin area.
- In the top-left corner, choose the role you want to modify. In this screenshot below, we're modifying the “Editor” role.
- Go to the “Taxonomies” tab. All the Authors in the PublishPress Authors plugin are stored as taxonomies. So if you check the “Manage” box, users in the “Editor” role will be able to manage Authors.
Next, go to the “PublishPress Authors” tab. This image shows the permissions for PublishPress Authors tab:
- ppma_manage_custom_fields: this controls access to the “Fields” screen (only applies to Pro version).
- ppma_edit_post_authors: this controls who can add and edit authors to posts.
- ppma_manage_layouts: this controls access to the “Layouts” screen (only applies to Pro version).
- ppma_edit_own_profile: this controls who can access their “Authors Profile” link.
