Allow activate extension – can activate ALL deactivated plugins

[WBM]

With the allow activate extension/deactivate plugins, I am able to select the plugins that can be activated. I have plugins disabled which i sometimes use and then activate (less plugins, more security). Even thought the user may not activate or delete them, these options are available and work. For all activated plugins, this function works as designed.

Help with example in order I can reproduce your situation.

I made test with 8 plugins installed and only 2 active. Then I allowed user with read, activate_plugins capabilities in the role activate/deactivate only 2 plugins (1 active and 1 not active). User sees only those 2 plugins. Clarify on example, how he can work with other plugins. What I missed?

Thank you for the additional information.

Once you activate this add-on, such data is default for all existing and new added roles:
Allow plugins: Selected,
0 plugins selected

URE counts that there are no restrictions set for such role, until at least one plugin will be selected. URE does not limit such role in plugin activation/deactivation.

Thanks for the extra info!
