    Hello. For some reason, when I’m logged with a user with “Editor” role or below I cannot access to the “Settings” or “Add-on” tabs on the WordPress Dashboard.

    Is this intended to be like this? Or it’s a bug?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Hi @nchiari,

    Modifying the settings in Restaurant Reservations requires the manage_options capability, which only Administrators have by default.

    The following Gist is a micro plugin which will change the required capability to edit_pages, which Editors have by default:

    To use it, click the Download link at the top, unpack the .php file, and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress site. Once uploaded, you can activate it from the Plugins page in your WordPress admin area.
