Hi,
As ADMIN I can assign a post to a GROUPS POSTS (like image), but the author can't do it, the box are not visible.

How can I assign this permission to "author" role?

Thanks in advance

Hi Luca,

Thank you for waiting.

To extend the permission to add/edit the Access plugin's "Post group" settings for the "Author" user role, you can follow these steps:

1. Please go to WP Admin -> Toolset -> Access Control and from the "Custom Roles" tab, click to change the default permissions for the "Author" role.

2. From the "Access capabilities" select the checkboxes for the capabilities "access_change_post_group" and "access_create_new_group".

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
