    Hi
    we had a custom plugin made for our site for the admin side, we want to give permission to some employee to see the backend of this plugin, how do we add a custom plugin that is NOT showing up in the list of permissions in this plugin?

    the admin page is /wp-admin/admin.php?page=ibl-product-inquiry

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @ariban99

    Plugin authors can add admin areas using any capability they want, including custom capabilities. These capabilities will show up in the Members. If you know which capabilities are required to access that plugin’s admin area, you can assign those capabilities to a user/role.

    Also, many plugins create admin settings pages using a native capability associated with administrators, such as manage_options. Granting a capability like this can have unintended consequences, such as giving users the ability to see a lot more in the admin.

    Hopefully, that makes sense.
