Hello,

I don’t know plugins to recommend for this use case.

Look if you may use the URE Pro add-on, if it is suitable:
1) Content view restrictions – if company listing profile is a separate page and changes are made via front-end.
2) Posts/Pages edit restrictions – if company listing profile is a separate page and is edited via back-end at the page editor.
3) Other roles access add-on.

If you can setup the list of user roles for your needs, user limited via “Other roles access” can grant only roles available for him and see users with this roles list only.

Hi,

Use this custom filter to change the restriction:

ure_attachments_show_full_list

[Vladimir]

May be you can isolate what plugin or theme load its CSS globally and breaks a view at the URE’s page – just deactivate all plugins, activate WordPress 2021 theme, then test activating them back one by one.

Hi,

Do you have own suggestion for this fix?
If No, I need to look at the issue at the dev/stage copy of your site.

[Vladimir]

There is no such setting in the URE plugin. Generally anyone can comment. Other depends from the comment system you use. Only post authors and editors can moderate comments.

Hi Janneke,

URE does not restrict user with ‘administrator’ role in any manner. Thus you can not select ‘administrator’ role for restriction at any add-on.

You may use a copy of administrator role for the selected users, which it’s possible to restrict.

Hi Erik,

I updated the code to fix the issue. Take a look.

I suppose, that plugin responsible for the front-end access to the downloads checks not user capability, but user role. If this plugin has settings for the list of role, allowed to download, add ‘administrator’ to that roles list.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for pointing to this bug. It’s a typo. Quick fix: open post-edit-access-role.php file for editing and replace plus ‘+’ character with this the dot: ‘.’
Correct version of line #72:

return array('result'=>'success', 'message'=>'Posts edit permissions for role:'. $role_id, 'html'=>$html);

I included this fix to the next release.

Hi Erik,

You are right. To make it universal use right version of the query with “IN ($ag)”, which currently is commented out by /* … */. Hardcoded ‘SBU004’ may stay there from the testing/debugging stage.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Let’s wait for the end of month. I will try to add this feature to the next update I plan to publish at the end of October – begin of November 2021.

Hi,

Additional authentication parameters are required for the API calls. This post may help

URE does not include suitable hooks to rename plugin. FYI, I do not appreciate this.

Yes, if you will replace plugin name directly in the plugin source code, the changes will be overwritten every time you will install updated version.

I successfully tested custom code for your scenario with URE Pro edit restrictions add-on activated together:
1) Activate edit restrictions add-on.
2) Install code below as a Must Use plugin or add it to the active theme functions.php file:

add_filter('ure_post_edit_access_authors_list', 'ure_modify_authors_list', 10, 1);

function get_orders_manager_users() {
    global $wpdb;
    
    $role = 'sales_agent';
    $where = $wpdb->prepare( 'meta_value LIKE %s', '%'. $wpdb->esc_like( '"' . $role . '"' ) .'%' );
    $query = "SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE $where";
    $result = $wpdb->get_results( $query ); 
    if ( empty( $result ) ) {
        return '';
    }
    
    $users_list = array();
    foreach( $result as $user ) {
        $users_list[] = $user->user_id;
    }    
    
    return $users_list;
}

function ure_modify_authors_list( $authors ) {
    
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    if ( !in_array( 'sales_agent', $user->roles ) ) {
        return $authors;
    }
    
    $users_list = get_orders_manager_users();
    $authors1 = implode(',', $users_list );
    if ( !empty( $authors ) ) {
        $authors .= ','. $authors;
    } else {
        $authors = $authors1;
    }    
        
    return $authors;
}

As a result any user with sales_agent role will be restricted in orders editing by authors list equal the list of users with the sales_agent role.

If you pre-install URE to the site, input the license key or add it to WordPress configuration via PHP constant, like below:

// User Role Editor Pro License Code
define('URE_LICENSE_KEY', '5ae21 ... a75de');

and use has permissions to update plugins (update_plugins), there is not need to have access to URE settings. Such user will can install URE updates via ‘Dashboard->UPdates’ with any other plugin update together.
