Form entries accessible to Editors?

    Is there any way to make the form entries viewable to the Editors group in WordPress? I do not want to grant Admin access to the users who need to view the form entries.

    Thanks,
    Karen

    Gravity Forms does not have Role Management capabilities built into it, however it is compatible with and adds access control capabilities to Justin Tadlock's Members plugin. The Members plugin adds full Role Management capabilities to WordPress.

    It can be downloaded here:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

    Once you install the Members plugin you can activate Role Management and edited Roles (ex. Administrator, Editor, etc.) and add Gravity Forms access to whichever roles you would like.

    You can control who can create new forms, who can edit forms, who can view entries, etc.

    We leave the actual role management functionality to a plugin designed for just that.

    Thank you; that looks promising! On the plugin, however, it says that it is for 2.8.4 or less, and I'm running 3.0.1. I can't post on his support forum without joining to ask about. Just wondering if you know if it will work.

    Thanks!

    Karen,

    I'm running 3.0.1 on my test sites and it's still working properly.

    This would be a nice option to add for developer accounts.

    @jeradin What do you mean to add? It's already supported. Gravity Forms completely integrates with the Role Management capabilities of WordPress. You just need to use a plugin that allows you to manage WordPress Roles to make use of them.

    The Members plugin does not work for me on 3.1.3. I've tried other roles plugins but it appears that they don't see the Gravity Forms capability options.

    Is there any reason why you don't actually add a simple Role checkbox and instead require an additional plugin that may or may not continue to be supported?

    There is a new version of the Members plugin available that should work with WordPress 3.1.3. You can find it here:

    Gravity Forms uses standard WordPress capabilities for role management. Gravity Forms is a form plugin and it's focus isn't on Role Management which is better left to plugins that provide Role Management capabilities to WordPress.

    Carl,
    There is a conflict between my theme and the Members plugin. Do you know of anything I can do to (like add a custom function) to give users access until a fix is released from the Headway folks?
