User Role for Flamingo

Description

Imagine a situation where you (administrator) have an RSVP form through Contact Form 7 on your page and colleact the responses via Flamingo. You want somebody of your staff to oversee and handle the responses. Until now you would have to create a wordpress user and grant admin permissions to this user. This is because users without admin permissions cannot access the contacts and responses captured by Flamingo.
But now: ✨ TADA! ✨
This plugin creates a special role, which you can assign to your staff. Only admins can then decide, which specific Flamingo permissions this role should have. Your member of staff can then only access the Flamingo pages granted to this role.

Do I need the Flamingo plugin to use the User Role for Flamingo plugin?

You can find the settings page in the WordPress Backend under Users > Flamingo User Role.

You do this as you already assigned the Administrator role to your user.
Use the following steps:

No.

Thanks for this plugin: easy to use - works as described by plugin author.

install the plugin on top of C7 & Flamingo. Go to user who needs access to Flamingo and add him the additional role "Flamingo User". Finetuning in the plugins settings.

Works on user level only - but that should be enough in most cases.

I can't make it works
