Add Editor / Shop Manager roles to the list of authorized roles

    Hello there !
    I’ve been implementing the free version of the plugin on a client’s website and it works like a charm.
    I just have one small issue :
    I’ve created two accounts (on Editor and one Shop Manager) for my client to manage his website on a day to day basis but when logged in as Editor / Shop manager the “Podcast” link item doesn’t appear on the left menu in the dashboard.

    Is there a way ( a short snippet to place in functions.php maybe ? ) to add this two roles to the list of roles that can have acces to the Podcast link in the menu and all features ?

    I assume at the moment it’s only possible for Admin, Podcast Editor and Podcast Manager.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks !

    Hi @alexis888,

    If you’re using something like User Role Editor you can customize your own roles and give or remove access as needed. This might be the easiest solution. For using access to SSP, we have the following…

    1. The list of podcast post type capabilities:

    ‘edit_podcast’,
    ‘read_podcast’,
    ‘delete_podcast’,
    ‘edit_podcasts’,
    ‘edit_others_podcasts’,
    ‘publish_podcasts’,
    ‘read_private_podcasts’,
    ‘delete_podcasts’,
    ‘delete_private_podcasts’,
    ‘delete_published_podcasts
    ‘delete_others_podcasts’,
    ‘edit_private_podcasts’,
    ‘edit_published_podcasts’,
    ‘create_podcasts’,

    2. The list of series and podcast_tags taxonomies capabilities:

    ‘manage_podcast_tax’ – for editing the taxonomy
    ‘edit_podcast’ – for assigning taxonomy terms to the podcast

    3. For the podcast settings, we use one capability:

    ‘manage_podcast’

    Hello @keleigh824, thanks for the fast answer.
    Unfortunately i’m not using User Role Editor and don’t really want to add an extra plugin just for this issue. Is there another way maybe ?
    Otherwise I’ll have to tell my client to use the admin role when he wants to manage podcasts.
    Thanks

    @alexis888 The admin, as well as the editor role, should have podcast management capabilities outside of the roles created by the plugin.

    Yup I Know admin has the management capabilities, my question “any other options” was if you had any other options to allow Editor / Shop manager to have the same management capabilities, other than using a role editor plugin ??

    Hi @alexis888 – the default WordPress Editor Role does have access to Podcast management, same as WordPress Administrator role. So if they have access to an account with WordPress Editor permissions, they should see Podcast management capabilities. As for a custom role, Shop Manager, the only way to assign this role Podcast management permissions would be to use a role editor plugin.
