Not to hijack this thread but I am working on the same issue right now. I have read through the old post but I am still a bit confused. Where would I add the additional functions Josh mentions in his last post? In my theme’s functions.php page? Thanks

Thanks for the reply but I am still having problems getting this to work. I added the code to my child’s functions.php page and made sure my test user has the “Manage_options” capability but I dont see the EE4 left menu when login in with that user. My understanding here is that we are marring the EE4 capabilities to the Manage_options capability. Is this correct?

I am sure I am just missing something simple. Do you see what I could be doing wrong?

A little update on this:

In Event Espresso 4.4.1.p (now available as an update) there are a few options on how to handle this.

The first option is for cases where you want to give full access to all of Event Espresso’s screens to a non-admin. For this, you add:

add_filter ('FHEE_management_capability', 'my_custom_menu_management_capability');

function my_custom_menu_management_capability() {
    return 'edit_posts';
}

As long as the user role has the capabilities to “edit_posts” and “manage_options“, they’ll have access to Event Espresso screens. You’ll also need to add other caps that are related to editing posts, uploading images, etc.

The other option available is for cases where you want to give limited access to Event Espresso. For example, the following code will grant access to Events, Registrations, Transactions, and Registration form pages:

add_filter ('FHEE_espresso_registrations_capability', 'my_custom_espresso_registrations_capability');
function my_custom_espresso_registrations_capability($capability){
    return 'edit_posts';
}

add_filter ('FHEE_espresso_events_capability', 'my_custom_espresso_events_capability');
function my_custom_espresso_events_capability($capability){
    return 'edit_posts';
}

add_filter ('FHEE_espresso_transactions_capability', 'my_custom_espresso_transactions_capability');
function my_custom_espresso_transactions_capability($capability){
    return 'edit_posts';
}

add_filter ('FHEE_espresso_registration_form_capability', 'my_custom_espresso_transactions_capability');
function my_custom_espresso_registration_form_capability($capability){
    return 'edit_posts';
}

An important note about these filters: These are subject to change in future major releases of Event Espresso (starting with 4.5) where we’ll be mapping specific Event Espresso features to specific capabilities. This will allow for more granular control over what can be accessed by an individual user role.

Hi Christopher,

You’re welcome. Please keep in mind there will be changes with the 4.5 release. When this ships, we’ll have documentation ready on how to use its new filters to manage specific Event Espresso capabilities for custom or non-admin user roles.
