Is it possible to apply amelia user role capabilities to another user type (e.g. subscriber) - or to create a custom user type and grant them certain amelia user rights?
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
You can try installing the "User Role Editor" plugin, and duplicate the capabilities of Amelia Customer user to Subscriber, but I don't believe that it will work the same.
Do you know what would change? Would a subscriber still be able to cancel/reschedule their own appointments?
Also, are the wp log in details and frontend customer panel log in details linked?... I want to use the front end panel initially for customers, then move to them managing appointment using the wp dashboard once I have customised/further developed this part of my site... Ideally I'd like the move to be seamless, using the same log in details. Would this be possible?
The "Amelia Customer" user role is linked to our database tables also, so this could mess up the entire process. The link between the WordPress user role, and a customer in Amelia is done with Foreign Keys, so in wp_amelia_users table (for example), the user is linked to the WordPress User ID (externalId column). If you somehow achieve that new customers are saved as Subscribers, and they appear in that table with the correct external ID, that shouldn't be causing any issues.
Also, the data related to the panels is not related to WordPress users, so this shouldn't disrupt the behavior of the panel. We've never done anything similar, so I can't say for sure, but I don't see many issues with this approach.

Hi - thanks for your help.
Do you know what would change? Would a subscriber still be able to cancel/reschedule their own appointments?
Also, are the wp log in details and frontend customer panel log in details linked?...
