Use Toolset Access to control user roles permission on back-end

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

Problem:

I want to allow editor roles to edit the navigation menu. Is it possible to configure this using Toolset Access?

Solution:

You can setup capabilities for different custom roles, for example:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Access control-> Custom Roles

- Enable advanced mode

- find and edit "Editor" role, enable the specific capabilities "edit_theme_options"

Tell us what you are trying to do? Use Toolset Access to give user roles permissions to access certain WP admin functions

I want to allow editor roles to edit the navigation menu. Is it possible to configure this using Toolset Access?

I know there other plugins to achieve this and I could modify the functions.php (as discussed here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/4191/allow-editors-to-edit-menus),

...but I hoped Access would be able to handle this.

Hello,

You can setup capabilities for different custom roles, for example:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Access control-> Custom Roles
- Enable advanced mode
- find and edit "Editor" role, enable the specific capabilities "edit_theme_options"
