Thanks for the good feedback.
I plan already to develop/refactor the export/import module:
– allow export/import of single role for single site;
– include to the export/import add-ons data. Currently only roles are exported.
and, thanks for your suggestions, I will add:
– export/import for all/selected subsites at once.
This work will require 1-2 months.

Hi,

Check if you granted access to URE capabilities for this role by mistake. It should not have access to the ‘ure_manage_options’, ‘ure_edit_roles’ and especially to ‘ure_plugins_activation_access’ capability as it allow to change settings and restrictions you made.

If you have the same roles at all subsites you can restore roles at the main site of the network 1st, and then replicate roles from the main site to all other subsites – go to the “Network Admin -> Users -> User Role Editor” page and click “Update Network” button.

There is no feature to backup/restore all subsites roles at once currently.

Hi,

User Role Editor uses the same DB as WordPress itself does. More, URE does not create/use any custom DB table. URE stores all information at wp_options DB table (db prefix may vary).
Roles are updated in place – the same db record where WordPress stores its own internal roles. So if you lost user roles changes after restore DB from backup – it’s an earlier made backup, or backup made from other site or subsite of this multisite network.

Hi,

These user capabilities are required by Divi in order role can work with menu items under the ‘Divi’ menu:
edit_posts
edit_theme_options
export
manage_categories
manage_options
read
switch_themes

I tested with Divi verison 3.0.47.

Did you try ‘manage_network_users’ from a ‘Network’ group in addition to usual ‘%_users’ capabilities under ‘Users’ group?
It seems that such capabilities are required to edit members under multisite in addition to general ‘bp_moderate’ which is mapped in BuddyPress to the ‘manage_options’ capability.

I tested the Beaver Builder Lite version available at wordpress.org and can not repeat an issue. I suppose that you use the Pro version. Can you share BB Pro plugin copy (via DropBox or similar service) – support [at-sign] role-editor.com? I would try to repeat the issue and isolate a reason then. I setup such copies locally and use for testing/investigation only.

Send the screenshots of settings in “Admin menu” you made for a role and what menu a user with that role really sees at /wp-admin.
What plugin registered menu items, which you can not block?

Hi,

Define this new CPT with its own user capability type, not the built-in WP ‘post’, not ‘page’, but ‘video’, ‘book’, or similar. User should have ‘edit_videos’, ‘edit_others_videos’ capabilities, etc., after that to get access to this CPT.

“Allow not super administrators to create, edit and delete users” option is aimed for the single site admin (user with ‘administrator’ role but without ‘Super admin’ privilege) and help to work with WordPress users. In order to manage BuddyPress members and groups at a selected single site user should have ‘manage_options’ capability. This definitely gives him an access to a lot of other staff.

You can block access to unneeded menus using “Admin menu access” add-on.

Just be accurate with “Block not selected” model there as it’s too restrictive and some functionality could by limited unintentionally. It blocks any link from left side admin menu, which is not directly selected at the menu items list. This includes the links which may differ just by parameters inside the same link.

Hi,

It’s not a bug. It’s a feature to protect single site admins from each other.
If you don’t need such protection you can switch it off using custom filter ‘ure_supress_administrators_protection’. It takes a single parameter as FALSE default. Return TRUE from your custom function hooked to this filter and any single site admin will see other admins.

Hi,

The latest version does not render [user_role_editor] shortcode for ‘administrator’ role, as there are no restrictions for admin.
I will change this behavior with the next update until the end of September. There were similar requests from other users and I agreed with them.

I tested URE shortcode with VC tabs. The issue is related to the same administrator role. Shortcode will work currently with any other role, except ‘administrator’.

Hi,

This add-on could be not fully compatible with some other plugins or themes which also replace WordPress core Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit class from wp-admin/includes/class-walker-nav-menu-edit.php file. Read this discussion for more details.

Check if it’s not your case.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

May be register users by default without page edit permissions, as ‘subcsriber’ for example? When you are ready to decide what page to allow this user to edit, you can change him a role to ‘editor’ (if he will edit page created by other user) and input a restriction for editing just subset of a page or a single page only.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for your messages.

I use WordPress global $current_user often at User Role Editor.
It’s the 1st message for years about such kind of PHP fatal error. I wonder, why this global variable $current_user is not initialized at your WP installation? Some code removes its value especially or custom authorization process is realized, which does not initialize $current_user for some reason the same way as WordPress does?
