Opening up roles to Gravity Forms - the function way!

I have read that if you use a role manager type plugin (IE Justins) you can open up lower level user access to gravity forms - I was wondering if you could let me know what the capabilities are that are required.

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.

That's perfect Carl, it's a loose end on the project I'm working on and it's a go-live weekend so you have just saved me a fair bit of time!

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!

Hi Guys,

Great post, very clear!

I have added:

//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');

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
