You would need to remove them.

I have added: <pre><code>//Gravity Forms User Roles Access $edit_contributor = get_role('staff'); $edit_contributor->add_cap('gravityforms_edit_entries'); $edit_contributor->add_cap('gravityforms_edit_entry_notes'); $edit_contributor->add_cap('gravityforms_export_entries'); $edit_contributor->add_cap('gravityforms_view_entries'); $edit_contributor->add_cap('gravityforms_view_entry_notes');</code></pre> To my functions file, but Help and Campaign Monitor are still showing, is there any way to hide these aswell? Thanks for all of the help thebootroom on "Opening up roles to Gravity Forms - the function way!" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/opening-up-roles-to-gravity-forms-the-function-way#post-6414 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 06:24:22 +0000 thebootroom 6414@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks firstly to Jonnya for giving me the motivation to use capabilities to solve a similar problem for one of my clients and thanks also to Carl for posting such a clear comprehensive list of the capabilities required. Cheers. gdeyoung1822 on "Opening up roles to Gravity Forms - the function way!" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/opening-up-roles-to-gravity-forms-the-function-way#post-6393 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:50:07 +0000 gdeyoung1822 6393@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Jonnya, Did you build a separate plugin to manage the role capabilities or did you add the code example (or other code) with the appropriate capability to a specific file within the Gravity Forms files? Also can you provide me the syntax or instruction to use for adding multiple capabilities to a role? Thanks a bunch. PS. Carl, GREAT Plugin! I learned about it at CMS Chicago in May from Shayne, I bought the Developers License and have used it several times now. My customers love it!

I don't like to run too many plugins - and it seems overkill to install this just to open up a capability - I am used to doing stuff like this for minor tasks in a little custom plugin: $edit_contributor = get_role('editor'); $edit_contributor->add_cap('switch_themes'); If you can let me know what the capabilities are, I can deploy this nice and easy! This info may be useful for other developers too!! PS - keep up the good work, this plugin ROCKS and I have been recommending it to everyone! I can't wait to see what you guys roll out in the future.
