Security settings bug

  • According to the notes on security settings, “A user has a privilege if his role is equal or higher than that specified.”

    So I set “Can see submission data” and “Can edit/delete submission data” to Editor. But when logged in as my editor user I could not see it in the menu. However, if I set it to Author it worked for both Author and Editor.

    I tried with all other plugins deactivated, and also activated. Same result.

    Now it’s not really an issue for me since I don’t use the Author user, and I can use an access manager to hide it for Author if need be. But seems like a bit of a bug.

    If you have “Allow only Administrators to see CFDB administration screens” set, that prevents that menau/page from showing.

    Yes sure, I have that setting set to False. Only thing I changed was setting those two options to Author or Editor. When set to Editor my editor user couldn’t see the menu item, only when set to Author.

    Actually your documentation is wrong I think.
    “If a user’s role allows him to have #2, then he has complete access to see all data. When logged into the WP dashboard, he will see the CFDB menus (unless #1 is set to false) ”
    Surely that should say unless #1 is set to true. If #1 (Allow only Administrators to see CFDB administration screens) is set to true then they won’t see the menus, not if set to false.
