[Resolved] cred-delete-relationship link not displaying for custom role

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I'm trying to use cred-delete-relationship shortcode to unlink event and gallery posts in a many-many relationship. I have the shortcode set up inside a view as the docs say to do:

[cred-delete-relationship role_items='$fromViews' relationship='gallery-event' redirect='self']Delete[/cred-delete-relationship]

Regular "Administrator" users can see and use the link just fine, but my custom "Gallery Manager" user cannot. I've given the Gallery Manager role the "manage_options" which I've read was necessary.

Solution:

In order to delete the relationship with shortcode [cred-delete-relationship]:
Acceptance criteria:

- when you visit the post in the frontend as admin: you should see a list of post related entities AND a button to delete the relationship between each of them.

- when you visit the post in the frontend as a user that HAS NO permissions to edit one of the post types: you should see a list of post related entities and NO button.

Not sure what's going on here?

Hello,

I have checked it in your to-do list, here is the feedback from our developers:
In order to delete the relationship with shortcode [cred-delete-relationship]:
Acceptance criteria:
- when you visit the post in the frontend as admin: you should see a list of post related entities AND a button to delete the relationship between each of them.
- when you visit the post in the frontend as a user that HAS NO permissions to edit one of the post types: you should see a list of post related entities and NO button.

So you can try these:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Access control-> Post Types
Find all post types related with "gallery-event" relationship, for example "gallery", "event" and intermediator post type "gallery-event", enable all privileges to user role "Gallery Manager", and test again

Ahh, thanks Luo. Bit of a workaround but it won't matter at all in this case. Thanks!
