Hi Brian,

Show a screenshot of your GF user registration add-on form.
I have Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On copy version 1.6 for testing. If you use another version send its copy to support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I will try to reproduce your form and write a script for it.

I use a copy of commercial products provided by clients at the local development environment and for testing purpose only.

‘manage_options’ is enough in my case to add the existing user to a group.
This is a video how such user adds a new user to a group.
This is a video how I created such role and user:

Let me know what you can not do (screenshots, videos) from the actions shown above.

Just assumption. But it could be a quick workaround. If b2b role has ‘edit_others_posts’ (or quotations) capability, try to revoke it. It may help.

Hi,

I see the problem.

If you try to open other author post (like 103) at the back-end post editor via direct link:
wp-admin/post.php?post=103&action=edit
you will get permissions error message:
Désolé, vous n’avez pas l’autorisation de modifier les entrées dans ce type de contenu.

It’s possible if front-end editor code does not respect permissions set by WordPress. For example it may check if current user can edit_posts, but it may does not check if current user can edit this post ID=103 and send update directly to the database.

Could you send me (support [at-sign] role-editor.com) this front-end editor code (plugin or theme) copy for the investigation?

[Vladimir]

Do you mean ‘add user’ when ask about ‘add friend’?
If ‘Yes’, then add ‘list_users’, ‘edit_users’ capabilities to this user role.

[Vladimir]

I recommend to use “Admin menu access” add-on for this purpose. There is a link to the post with example at the end of that post.

[Vladimir]

BuddyPress requires ‘manage_options’ capability in order a user has access to the “Groups” and “Activity” menu items. So we have to grant to a role at least the ‘read’ and ‘manage_options’ user capabilities to allow it the access to the “Groups” at wp-admin.

It’s possible to block “Settings” and other admin menu items protected by the same ‘manage_options” capability, using User Role Editor Pro add-on “Admin Menu Access“

[Vladimir]

“Revolution Slider” menu item is protected by ‘manage_options’ user capability. If you have to give this permission to the role with a limited access you should block for such role unnecessary menu items (including critical one like “Settings”). Use “Admin menu access” add-on for this.
Example with similar menu access blocking is available here.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for letting me know.

Yes, send login credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I will look on the issue on-site.

Hi Luis,

>> if i go to see the post or edit the post in the administration, in the gallery i see all the images that i have in my website
Please give me more details on this. When you edit a post you see just a shortcode like [gallery ids="646,645,647"]. Where you can see just the images included into a gallery except of front-end?

May be you use some plugin to work with galleries?

[Vladimir]

I understood now.
Taking into account a quant of users and pages, we can not effectively realize this model with User Role Editor Pro “Content View Restrictions” add-on.

In theory, you can create 200 roles, assign them to 200 users. Setup view restrictions for every page. Then assign the unique role to every page menu item with “Nav menu roles” plugin. But it’s so large routine manual work, that a special custom decision may be a quicker and easier way for some developer.

If this is the only reason, for which you bought User Role Editor Pro, just ask for refund.

[Vladimir]

Do you place this menu item to the front-end to just to show the page content to the linked user? Will it be allowed to user A see the content of the page from user B or access to the page view should be isolated for every page: one page – one user?

Or this is about the back-end and user will be capable to edit this single page?

[Vladimir]

Could you give me more details what do you wish to achieve? Roles by definition are the groups of users with the same permissions set. So 200 users with unique roles, finally 200 roles is little beyond the usual permissions model. WordPress is not designed for the very large quant of roles:
– all roles are loaded to the memory at once;
– Roles a listed as the views at the top of users list. Imagine how the “Users” page will be looked with 200 views links at the top. With 1 user at every view such views will have no sense
– Role selection user interface is realized as a drop-down list at the most of places including User Role Editor itself. So such controls will become unusable with 200 roles inside.

May be you need to re-design your idea and use some other WordPress feature, e.g. user metadata, etc. to differentiate users from each other?

One of potential variants: it’s possible to assign some unique capability to every user directly, not via role. It depends where do you plan to use this flag/value. Will it be really used as the part of permissions system or for some other purpose, like reporting, classification, etc.?

[Vladimir]

Hi Michal,

Does users exist at the site and you need to assign them some role?
Will it be the only (primary) role or you wish to add this role to one which user has already?
