Roles and Permissions
The theme uses the default WordPress roles and permissions with the following exceptions:
Editors have been given the edit_theme_options capability, but we have removed menu access to the themes page (Appearance > Themes).
exclamation Notice regarding plugins
It is important to note that using a plugin that overrides, adds, or otherwise alters user roles and permissions may have unexpected quirks due to potential conflicts with changes made to user permissions in the theme.
If using a plugin that manipulates roles and capabilities, it is important to make sure none of the following capabilities are given to non-admin users:
- install_plugins
- install_themes
- delete_themes
- delete_plugins
- edit_plugins
- edit_themes
- edit_users
- add_users
- create_users
- delete_users
- promote_users
- switch_themes
More about WordPress roles and capabilities can be found on the WordPress documentation site.
