Is there a minimum required role level required in order to access wpDataTables menu from the Dashboard?
I have an Editor who is unable to access. I have some role-based restrictions installed, and I just want to know if I need to troubleshoot my code or if the issue lies in your plugin.
If you take a look at our documentation you will see this notice
"Please note that as wpDataTables has direct access to the database (WordPress database, or a remote MySQL DB) the plugin admin pages are restricted to admin users only, and not visible to editors or users with other roles. To allow them to see it you would need to grant them ‘manage_options’ capability."

Ok thanks.
For the benefit of others, in order to grant that specific permission to the Editor role, place this code in your theme's function.php file:
<?php
// get the the role object
$editor = get_role('editor');
// add $cap capability to this role object
$editor->add_cap('manage_options');
?>

Also Bogdan...
I searched your docs for the word "roles" before submitting a ticket, and got no result.

Hi jaemaz,
It is because we do not have special page or post for Roles.
I wrote down your suggestion so maybe we can add the page or post regarding to the Roles so the users can find that easily.
Best regards.
