We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Is it possible to control edits tools based on the role?
Like if you're subscriber:
You can only add
If you're contributor
You can only add / edit
If you're an admin
You can do anything
Also, not globally but base on certain table only.
Hello Cedric
Unfortunately, the plugin doesn't have any functions like that.
You can either enable editing for a certain role, or not. There's no in between.
Perhaps this behavior can be modified with plugins like User Role Editor, but I have never tried that.
If you need to apply this only to certain tables, you can only hide the options "Add new", "Edit" and/or "Delete" with some CSS - so it will be applied to all.
A workaround would be to create three different tables for every role:
1. Original table where editing is only enabled for Administrators
2. The same table (created with SQL query), where editing is enabled only for subscribers. In this case, you would need to include the CSS on front-end table which would hide "Edit" and "Delete"
3. The same table (created with SQL query), where editing is enabled only for subscribers.
this case, you would need to include the CSS on front-end table which would hide "Delete"
It's cumbersome, but the only way it could work if User Role Editor doesn't do the job.

I think it would be nice if you that kind of functionality since it's not hard to do. Anyway, I accomplished this one already by modifying your plugin's code.
Glad to hear that Cedric
Can I ask you to add the suggestion on our suggest a feature page?
It will go directly to our developers, so they can include it in the future.
