<p>Hi everyone,</p><p>We're using the H5P plugin on our website in combination with Tutor LMS. However, we've encountered an issue: currently, H5P is only accessible through our WP admin panel, meaning our instructors—who don’t have admin rights—cannot utilize it.</p><p>We don’t want to grant admin privileges to instructors, but we’d like to make H5P available within the Tutor LMS dashboard as a separate menu item. Has anyone done something similar before, or does anyone know how this could be implemented?</p><p>Thanks in advance!</p>

Hi!

H5P supports the role management feature of WordPress, that allows to define capabilities per user. WordPress does not ship with its own user role management option though. You will need a plugin such as User Role Editor.

You can then choose the role that your instructors have (or create a dedicated new one) and assigne them the capabilities that they should have, typically:

  • edit_h5p_contents
  • edit_others_h5p_contents (if they should be allowed to edit the contents of other instructors)
  • view_h5p_contents
  • view_others_h5p_contents (if they should see contents of other instructors in the list of H5P contents)
  • view_h5p_results

The respective menu items will then be available in their regular WordPress dashboard. If TutorLMS has a custom dashboard that does not relate to the WordPress environment, then it may be required to customize your platform.

Best,
Oliver
