In WordPress plugin, restrict access to Admin only?

Hi,

On my WordPress site, users who have the site role "Author" have access to the wp-admin and can see the H5P settings etc.

Can I hide this from them? I want only the site administrator to have access to any H5P settings.

Thanks.

Hi Micheal!

H5P supports the roles/capabilities system of WordPress which allows you to set what role is allowed to do certain things. Unfortunately, even though WordPress has this quite useful system in place, it doesn't ship with a user role editor. You'll have to install one of the many plugins that close this gap, e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ and than you can restrict what authors are allowed to do (well, by default authors are allowed to author H5P content ...).

Cheers,
Oliver
