Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing great.
I have a developer that doe not have admin rights and needs to access this page:
I need to know which wp capability is the one needed to accomplish this.
We granted the capability of adding, editing and installing plugins!
Here is the screenshot displaying the issue.
Thank so much for the help.
Cheers!
Looking at Github, it would seem the capability used is manage_options.
https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/master/admin/admin-menu.php#L51
Hello @RickU,
There are 2 ways to allow your developer to have access to this page, one is
Step 1: Install User Role Editor Plugin and create a custom role for your developer and assign manage_options capability, but this will also allow him to have access to admin related menus like settings, etc, so to avoid that, install Adminimize Plugin and remove admin menus for that particular role
Step 2: Create a user with the new role you have created and share the credentials with your developer.
Another is, add a custom code in your theme / child theme (if child theme is active) which will allow you to set custom capability for the Discourse admin menu access, create a custom role using code and assign the new capability to the role and create a user with the custom role and share the credentials with your developer, but in this method your developer can only see the page but can’t edit/update/save any changes, since manage_options capability is not provided which is required to save options in WordPress. If you want I can add the code on github and share the link here.
Try any of the above and let me know, 
I will be taking a look at this solution. It seem simple. I have been doing a lot of updates to our side and schedule has been crazy. I will update of the out come or route taken.
Thanks so much!

¿Hay alguna forma de dar acceso a roles de usuario específicos al panel de WP Discourse en la última versión?
Suena un poco excesivo darles la opción completa de manage_options y luego ocultar todos los elementos. Intentamos mantener nuestra instancia de WordPress algo ligera 
La situación de acceso se mantiene igual que se discutió anteriormente.
¿Tienes un ejemplo de un plugin que utilice acceso basado en roles para su panel de administración y que te guste, es decir, en la línea ligera que sugeriste? Me interesa mejorar este tipo de funcionalidad y me gustaría identificar puntos problemáticos / funcionalidades deseadas.
En nuestro caso de uso, estamos utilizando Learndash LMS y WP Discourse para publicar sus tipos de publicación personalizados de lecciones y temas en nuestro foro. Tiene sus propios roles de instructor. Si bien los instructores pueden editar el contenido, no tienen acceso al panel de WP Discourse.
