Custom User Role Issues

  • If I assign a user the role of Manager they are able to manage the woocommerce, store, products etc just fine. However they are not Instructors for Tutor LMS and therefore cannot create and manage courses despite having all the permissions for doing so. As a result I add Instructor as an additional role, this then allows them to create courses in Tutor LMS rather than seeing the permission denied screen however when managing products and coupon codes in woocommerce they can now only see and manage ones they have created.

    In URE I have ensured that the option to manage their own posts only is not checked. It is all around if I add this secondary role to them or not. Tutor LMS requires this secondary role to function correctly so I am at a loss. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I have to resolve this issue with Tutor LMS developers.

    ” Tutor LMS automatically restricts all users, who are don’t have role ‘administrator’, but have role ‘tutor_instructor’, by posts created by current user – for all post types, including WooCommerce products, orders, etc. I think, this is a bug, and they should restrict access for the own custom post types only, not for all as they do currently.

    I tested free version of Tutor LMS. I granted to user with editor role the 2nd role – tutor_instructor. Editor automatically lost access to the all posts and pages except his own.

    Here is the code responsible for the problem (tutor/classes/Admin.php):`

    add_action(‘admin_init’, array($this, ‘filter_posts_for_instructors’));

    …

    /**
    * Filter posts for instructor
    */
    public function filter_posts_for_instructors(){
    if ( ! current_user_can(‘administrator’) && current_user_can(tutor()->instructor_role)){
    @remove_menu_page( ‘edit-comments.php’ ); //Comments
    add_filter( ‘posts_clauses_request’, array($this, ‘posts_clauses_request’) );
    }
    }

    public function posts_clauses_request($clauses){
    global $wpdb;

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();

    $get_assigned_courses_ids = $wpdb->get_col($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT meta_value from {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key = ‘_tutor_instructor_course_id’ AND user_id = %d”, $user_id));

    $custom_author_query = “AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_author = {$user_id}”;
    if (is_array($get_assigned_courses_ids) && count($get_assigned_courses_ids)){
    $in_query_pre = implode(‘,’, $get_assigned_courses_ids);
    $custom_author_query = ” AND ( {$wpdb->posts}.post_author = {$user_id} OR {$wpdb->posts}.ID IN({$in_query_pre}) ) “;
    }

    $clauses[‘where’] .= $custom_author_query;

    return $clauses;`
    }

    Hello @greatopomu

    An instructor can only edit the course info in which course they are affiliated else can not. But if he had the manager role then he should be able to edit the product because Instructor does not have permission to access the product label.

    Thanks Jobayer.

    Let me simplify the question,

    I have created a custom user role called “super_adnin”. How can I give access to this user role to have access to all instructors’ courses from the wp-admin just as the administrator?

    Hello @greatopomu

    You can not give any access to the custom user we do not have that option.
