Hey, group.
I've enabled an Options page in Advanced Custom Fields so a client can add/remove/edit some stuff on their website in a single location.
It's visible and works just fine with admin access, but not with any other role. Am I missing something?
This is what I have in the functions.php file:
// add Site Settings page with ACF
if(function_exists('acf_add_options_page')) {
acf_add_options_page(
array(
'page_title' => 'Site Settings',
'menu_title' => 'Site Settings',
'menu_slug' => 'site-settings',
'capability' => 'manage_options'
)
);
}
if(function_exists('acf_add_options_page')) {
acf_add_options_page(
array(
'page_title' => 'Site Settings',
'menu_title' => 'Site Settings',
'menu_slug' => 'site-settings',
'capability' => 'manage_options'
)
);
}

Changing ACF options requires the “manage_options” capability by default, which only Administrator role users have by default.
You could grant that capability to other roles (using a role manager plugin like Members) but that gives them access to all WP options.
You can also adjust the capability required to see that page/manage options by passing it to the acf_add_options_page call (which you’re doing, but you’re passing the default capability of manage_options).
Change it to edit_posts or another capability shared by the users you want to see this, or use a custom capability and grant that to the roles that should have access. Just be careful you don’t open it up too wide (e.g. read would be a bad idea).
'capability' => 'manage_options'
to
'capability' => ‘edit_posts'

My bad! It defaults to edit_posts but you overrode it to manage_options, hence your issue.
