Roles and Capabilities

Code Snippets uses custom capabilities to restrict or allow access to the admin pages.

Capabilities

Prior to version 1.9 there were three capabilities:

• manage_snippets
• install_snippets
• edit_snippets

As well as their counterparts for the network admin:

• manage_network_snippets
• install_network_snippets
• edit_network_snippets

In version 1.9 these were simplified into two: manage_network_snippets for all snippet operations in the network admin, and manage_snippets for all other snippet operations.

Restrict snippet operations to Super Admins only

If you choose you can restrict all site-wide snippet operations to Super Admins on a multisite network. This includes hiding snippet administration menus for regular site administrators. To do so, log in to the Network Admin (/wp-admin/network) and click on the Settings Menu scroll down to this option:

Unchecking the Snippets box will restrict snippet operations to Super Admins. Checking the box will allow site administrators to perform snippet operations
