Hi @rheinstars-loeln,

try to add this code to your active theme functions.php file:

add_filter('ure_restrict_edit_post_type', 'exclude_attachments_from_edit_restrictions');
function exclude_attachments_from_edit_restrictions($post_type) {
  $restrict_it = true;
  if (current_user_can('author')) {
      if ($post_type=='attachment') {
	        $restrict_it = false;
      }
  }
  return $restrict_it;
}

Replace ‘author’ role inside with any other role, for which you need allow access to all attachments in spite of edit restrictions set for posts or pages.
