admin-with-additional-role problem

    Hi,
    I have a problem which I suspect has to do with this great plugin.
    In my website there is a members-only area for which people have to login. Login users have the standard role “members”. Member can only see their profiles, the rest of the dashboard is hidden. Some of these members additionally have admin privileges. Admin privileges are complete. I have activated the multiple role option in adminimize.

    Now, the problem is, that these admin users with additional member role have restricted dashboard access.
    First, the dashboard group menu is missing.
    Second, events show only a set of tick boxes used for group selection
    Third, same as in events, a set of empty tick boxes.
    When I deactivate the admimize plugin, the problems vanish.

    It seems as if the member capabilities, which obviously are very restrictive, somehow supersede the admin privileges.
    I use adminimize 1.1.4, WordPress 4.6.1 and 4.9.3
    Thanks for your help
    Mike

    Sorry to have a typo in my post:
    Wrong: “Third, same as in events, a set of empty tick boxes.”
    Correct: “Third, pages show, same as in events, a set of empty tick boxes.”

    Have this members with admin access more as one role?
    If yes, you should active the option “Support Multiple Roles” in Adminimize. The default is WP is that users have only one role.

    Hi Frank,
    thanks for looking into this glitch.

    Yes, the option “Support Multiple Roles” is active.

    I need this dual role concept because I have non-admin users who are allowed to send mails to all “members”. For that they use the “email users” plugin by Mike Walsh and Marvin Labs. Mails to the “members” group do not reach the admin users, however. That is why admins have the double role.

    If you have the option for Multiple Role active, then should id work. Each area of the settings run about each role, if the user have more as one role.

    I have done a complete re-install by removing the plugin, deleting the Wmw_adminimize” entry in the wp_options database table, and the reinstalling. I have restricted all user roles to nothing, leaving only the admin role completely open.

    Now the test: With the option “support multiple role” inactive, my double-role-admin gets the answer “cheating? You have no access” when he tries to open the pages survey page. I guess this is correct, because a standard user is not allowed to do this.
    With the option “support multiple role” active, my double-role-admin gets the crippled page as described above. And, when he tries to create a new page, he is allowed to this. but there is no line for the page title.

    The same happens to the “comments survey” and the “posts survey” pages.
    I have supplied links to sceeenshots which you may have a look at.
