Hi,
I would give access to the editor role the possibility of using a specific plugin (not all). Is there a solution? I can't find anything in the settings to manage access to the plugin.
I found this page but I don't see how to use it.

Thanks.

Hi, it depends on the other plugin and whether or not that plugin uses permissions to manage access to their menu items in wp-admin, and other features. For example, WooCommerce offers multiple permissions which restrict access to different menu items and features in wp-admin. One example of those permissions is "manage_woocommerce". You can turn permissions on or off for different User roles in the Toolset > Access Control > Custom Roles tab. You must choose "Enable advanced mode" to manage permissions like this.

You should check with the other plugin's developers or their support team to determine which permission(s) should be deactivated to restrict access to their menu items in wp-admin. Some plugins do not use permissions like this, they manage access to plugin features using other proprietary logic which cannot be controlled by Access.

Let me know if you have questions about controlling 3rd-party plugin permissions with Access.
