They actually have multiple capabilities for the same thing. There is a capability for the ability to edit posts and there is a capability for the ability to edit others posts. </p> <p>Currently Gravity Forms does not get this granular. The capabilities in Gravity Forms were created when we first began developing the product and before we had a large number of users using the product in a wide variety of ways. </p> <p>They were primarily designed so that you could have someone that can view and manage entries but not edit the forms. Situations where you may have a secretary that can respond to Contact Us entries but not be able to edit and cause problems with the Contact Us form.</p> <p>However, we do plan on implementing these additional capabilities so that it allows you to set it so that a user can only edit his or her forms and entries. It most likely won't be in Gravity Forms v1.6.2 but it is something that will be coming in a Gravity Forms v1.6.X release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/digging-into-gf-roles-and-capabilities#post-42578 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:19:59 +0000 treuter 42578@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is absolutely a need and a major inadequacy of GravityForms. Is there any hope of seeing this functionality surface in an upcoming release?</p> <p>Dan </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/digging-into-gf-roles-and-capabilities#post-42531 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 05:42:40 +0000 Nitin 42531@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl </p> <p>Can you please provide some pointers. I'm not able to get any way out.</p> <p>Regards<br /> Nitin </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/digging-into-gf-roles-and-capabilities#post-42413 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 02:54:32 +0000 Nitin 42413@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>Sry for re-posting this query.. Didn't specified the right title last time.. </p> <p>I'm opening my sites's backend to specific users (Author role in WP) and I want them to maintain/view only their forms. While experimenting with GF roles and capability option, I'm able to to limit specific actions to each role. But as soon as I assign "gravityforms_edit_forms" capability to "Author" role, this Author is able to edit the form even added by Admin. So in short "can we assign a form to user like a post?" and let that user maintain his forms, and if yes, how can we customize the admin screen views?</p> <p>I've been using Gravity Forms for past 2+ years and have not seen this option. Have anyone had such requirement? I think this is a must for large websites/multisites to assign and limit access of forms data to multiple users.</p> <p>Regards<br /> Nitin </p>
