    Hi there.

    I just come across a major problem with jetpack.

    Subscribers are able to changing admin settings (well the modules that has not been activated)

    I know jetpack allows all users to see the admin menu and to connect to there wordpress.com accounts, but they should not be allowed to change settings/module.

    Here is a 1 min screencast video i did, showing how a Subscriber manage to activate a deactivated module: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cI1vbKVyCj

    Is there anyway to stop users apart from the admins from changing settings?

    Thanks and i look forward to your reply.

    P.s i also sent this using the support ticket on there site too.

    I am a little surprised no one else spotted this problem and reported it on here.
