How to allow Editor role to see the Wordfence dashboard widget?

Hi wpsesame,
Wordfence plugin doesn’t show this widget for any other user role than “admin” or “super admin” in case of multi-site installation, so even with the aid of any WordPress Dashboard management plugins like “Adminimize”, you will not be able to show this widget for different user roles, instead you may hide it from “admin” users which will not be that useful because you can do that from (Wordfence > Options => Email Summary => Enable activity report widget on dashboard).

Hint: if you are familiar with WordPress development you could modify this specific addDashboardWidget Wordfence function to suit your needs, knowing that any modifications made on the plugin files will be at your own risk and of course will be vanished away after every plugin update, in addition to that the plugin would be unsupported at that point.

Thanks.

Thank you! I figured it out.

My goal is to allow my clients (for whom I build out these sites) to see certain dashboard widgets while having limited access to the backend.

To do this, I used the User Role by BestWebSoft plugin to give the Editor role the capability of viewing plugins, then used the Adminimize plugin to hide the dashboard Plugins menu. Then I totally customized/branded/further simplified the backend with White Label CMS.

This technically doesn’t restrict access to the plugins dashboard – they’ll still be able to see if it they visit the /plugins.php in their backend – but since the goal wasn’t really to utterly restrict, just simplify, and since my clients aren’t generally savvy enough to find it anyway (and mostly wouldn’t even know how to try), that’s okay.

With this solution, they see the more simplified/restricted Dashboard menu on the left, and the plugin widgets on their dashboard home.

Thanks!
