User Capabilities Settings

These settings control which user roles can perform actions on the frontend. Each capability can be assigned to specific WordPress roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.).

Available Capabilities

Frontend Create

  • Ability to create new documents through the frontend form
  • Requires “Enable Frontend Uploading” to be turned on globally

Frontend Edit

  • Ability to edit existing documents from the frontend
  • Requires “Display Edit Icon” to be enabled globally

Frontend Delete

  • Ability to delete documents from the frontend
  • Requires “Display Edit Icon” to include delete option

Frontend Replacement

  • Ability to replace document files while keeping the entry
  • Requires “Document Replacement” to be enabled globally

How It Works

  1. First, enable the global setting (in Frontend Settings)
  2. Then, check which roles should have that capability

Example: To let Authors upload documents:

  1. Enable “Frontend Uploading” in Frontend Settings
  2. In User Capabilities, check “Frontend Create” for the Author role
