- In the “Taxomomies” area, you can see the “manage_categories” option.

If you give both these permissions to a user in the Subscriber role, this next screenshot shows what they will see after logging in.
These permissions are automatically added to your site by the /inc/class.admin.php file. These permissions are automatically removed when you uninstall the plugin. This is done by the uninstall.php file.
