The Grid - User Access

[scotbaston]

Hi,

I am trying to add access to an Editor level user, so that they can create their own grids in ‘The Grid’ plugin

Can you help please?

I do have the user role editor plugin but still can’t get The Grid to show in the left hand panel of the dashboard (for the editor role, I can see it as admin)

Best wishes

Scot

Hi @scotbaston,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m not sure if it’s possible, I checked The Grid coding and the only permission being checked is edit_posts and edit_pages capability. Hence, assigning a user with editing capability for post and pages should work too. That’s my initial checking of the grid plugin.

I recommend contacting the role editor plugin author for further information to see if it’s something doable even if the plugin doesn’t that much permission checking.

Thanks!

Thanks @Rad,

The user has privs for both edit_post and edit_pages but still The Grid option in the left panel of dashboard doesn’t show.

Is it possible to ask ‘The Grid’ plugin authors as part of their relationship with Themeco?

Hi @scotbaston,

I’m not sure if it’s possible as we only rely on the documentation they provided and or if there are any existing bugs. And it’s only between our developer and The Grid’s developer.

And yes, it’s not going to be displayed on the admin menu as the permission checking in the code is to only disallow access to editing capability and not for the menu. Still, that may be doable through custom development which we can’t provide.

Thanks!
