Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want an Editor to have access to/wp-admin/admin.php?page=views&s=related&paged=1&items_per_page=-1

When they try to get access to the page they are told they are not allowed to access.

What type of user can access the Views admin page? I do not want to give them Administrator access level.

I have tried with and without the Access plugin.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I cannot find a reference to this except this which does not solve it
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/access-control/setting-access-control/

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No because it is in admin

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hi Robert,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You should be able to do this by giving your user role the "manage_options" privilege, see screenshot.

This should allow the user to have access to the views options. Also under the Views Capabilities you should enable the edit view option as well.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane
