Hi Mike,

It’s not possible with UI at wp-admin. You may use any SQL tool, like phpMyAdmin or MySQL WorkBench, and execute this command:

SELECT DISTINCT wp_users.ID, wp_users.user_login, wp_usermeta.meta_value 
	FROM wp_usermeta 
		JOIN wp_users on wp_users.ID=wp_usermeta.user_id
	WHERE wp_usermeta.meta_key='wp_capabilities' AND
		wp_usermeta.meta_value NOT LIKE '%subscriber%'
	ORDER BY wp_users.ID;

Just replace ‘wp_’ at the database tables names with your DB prefix from wp-config.php.
Make the same replacement for the meta_key ‘wp_capabilities’ value.
Command above will show the list of all users without subscriber role.

It seems I fixed the issue. Make another test and share the result.

The reason was at the filtering code from functions.php:

$ag = get_field('analytics_group_name','user_' . $current_user->ID);
if ( !isset( $ag ) ) {
     return '';
}

get_field() may return ”, and !isset() check was wrong in the such case. I replaced !isset() with empty():

if ( empty( $ag ) ) {
    return '';
}

and ‘Pages’ started to open with the single page only.

Hi Erik,

I reproduced the described issue. I will try to find a reason.

[Vladimir]

Yes, it’s a way to resolve the redirection issue caused by admin menu restrictions.

[Vladimir]

1st, add new user as editor to the main site.
2nd, go to “Network Admin->Users”, find just added user, click ‘Capabilities’ link under that user row.
3rd, click “Update Network”. URE Pro will add the user with role granted to him to all sites of the multisite network.

Documentation article on the subject:

Multisite operations

This version just adds additional condition:

if ( in_array( 'scholarships', $user->roles ) ) {  // Role ID
      if ($post_type=='scholarship') {  // CPT ID
        $restrict_it = false;
      }
} else if ( in_array( 'sdol-page-editor', $user->roles ) && in_array( 'applications_tools', $user->roles )) {  // user has both roles at the same time
      if ( $post_type==='app_tools' ) {
	   $restrict_it = false;  // Do not restrict editing for Applications & Tools
      }
  }

[Vladimir]

Use ‘sdol-page-editor’ for the role ID and ‘app_tools’ for the post_type. If you return false for ‘app_tools’, URE will fully exclude this custom post type from edit restrictions.

Something like this:

if ( in_array( 'sdol-page-editor', $user->roles ) && in_array( 'applications_tools', $user->roles )) {  // user has both roles at the same time
      if ( $post_type==='app_tools' ) {
	   $restrict_it = false;  // Do not restrict editing for Applications & Tools
      }
  }

1st issue was resolved. User icomm sees ‘Pages’ menu now. Problem was that his 1st role has “Admin menu” “Not Selected” blocking model, but the 2nd role – “Selected”. When URE builds general admin menu for 2 roles it take blocking model from the 1st role and if blocking model of the 2nd role is different then it’s ignored. As a result ‘Pages’ menu was blocked via “Admin menu” restrictions set for the 1st role.

2nd part, it’s possible to allow user to see/edit the single page via its ID, but has edit access to the full list of another custom post type. Use custom filter ure_restrict_edit_post_type for this purpose.

Let me know if you will need help with a code for this custom filter.

[Vladimir]

Does such user see ‘Pages’ menu item or just doesn’t see any pages at the pages list?
Anyway I don’t see a problem with user capabilities granted to the user via roles.
Try to deactivate all plugins. Will it change something? If Yes, activate plugins back one by one to isolate a problem.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

1st, deactivate temporally URE’s edit restrictions add-on at the URE Settings page and be sure that your user with both roles really has unrestricted access to the custom post type and pages.
2nd, turn ON URE’s edit restrictions add-on and try to tune restrictions for this user.
When you put page ID to the list of allowed for editing, URE automatically prohibits all other ID (even from other post types). It’s possible to change this for the selected custom post type via ure_restrict_edit_post_type custom filter.

Let me know the result and we will continue with access to the single page, if it will be needed.

[Vladimir]

Did you add ‘edit_theme_options’ capability to ‘author’ role?

[Vladimir]

Erik,

I updated custom code at functions.php to this version:

function fetch_analytics_posts(){
	global $post; 

	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	$ag = get_field('analytics_group_name','user_' . $current_user->ID);
	if ( !isset($ag) ) {
		return '';
	}
	
	$posts = get_posts(array(
        'suppress_filters'  => true,    
	'numberposts'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'page',
	'meta_query'	=> array(
		'relation'		=> 'OR',
		array(
			'key'	 	=> 'analytics_group_name',
			'value'	  	=> $ag,
			'compare' 	=> 'IN',
			),		
		),
	));

	foreach($posts as $post){
		$list .= $post->ID.',';
	}

	$list = rtrim($list, ',');

	wp_reset_postdata();

	// echo 'allowed posts:'. $list;
	return $list;
}

add_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_id_list', 'ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu', 10, 1);

function ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu($list) {
	
        remove_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_id_list', 'ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu', 10);
        $ag_posts_list = fetch_analytics_posts();
        add_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_id_list', 'ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu', 10, 1);
        
	if ( empty( $ag_posts_list ) ) {
		return $list;
	}
	
	if ( empty( $list ) ) {
		return $ag_posts_list;
	}
	
	$list .= ', '. $ag_posts_list;
	
	return $list;
}

I tested with existing user with ‘Program Editor’ role. When I turn ON SBU002 analytics group for her, she sees 30 pages only. (Pay attention that some pages with empty analytics group field were returned by your get_posts() query).

[Vladimir]

Erik,

I moved get_posts() out of filter function and saved its result inside global variable. So filter function looks now as:

function ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu($list) {
	global $ag_posts_list;
	
	if ( empty( $ag_posts_list ) ) {
		return $list;
	}
	
	if ( empty( $list ) ) {
		return $ag_posts_list;
	}
	
	$list .= ', '. $ag_posts_list;
	
	return $list;

I created successfully new page ‘Test 124’ under user with ‘Program Editor’.
Make your own test and let me know the result.

[Vladimir]

I suppose that your browser uses older version of ure.js file. Try to force browser page refresh after you open URE page. Will it start work as expected?
If page refresh will not help, open browser JavaScript console and look for JavaScript error messages. Show what do you see.

[Vladimir]

Another suggestion –
You use get_posts() inside your filter function. URE’s uses ‘pre_get_posts’ hook to define the list of the allowed posts, thus calling get_posts() inside filter function may lead to the endless recursion and finally to the problem with available memory. So try to switch off this custom filter before to call get_posts(), then restore it back, like this:

remove_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_id_list', 'ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu'); 
$posts = get_posts(array(
			'numberposts'	=> -1,
			'post_type'		=> 'page',
			'meta_query'	=> array(
				'relation'		=> 'OR',
				array(
					'key'	 	=> 'analytics_group_name',
					'value'	  	=> $ag,
					'compare' 	=> 'IN',
				),
			),
		));
add_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_id_list', 'ure_edit_posts_access_set_id_list_cu');

If this will not help, let me know, we will try to switch off/restore directly URE’s global post edit access filter.
