Who may change license and White-Label

Applies to: All plugins· 4 min read

License and White Label are settings of the installation. Who may open and save them is regulated differently in each plugin — usually it is administrators, and in Consent and Analytics dedicated permissions come on top.

The rule for each plugin

  • Backup, Performance, Security, SEO, Roles, Media and Links: the admin page and every action on it require manage_options
  • Backup additionally keeps a matrix with four dedicated backup permissions; activating and removing the license hang on “Manage settings” there. Because the page itself still requires manage_options, roles below that cannot reach it yet — and the card says so itself
  • Media: the folders in the media library are the exception — anyone with upload_files may create, rename and move them; only files the user’s own account may edit can be sorted in, and only someone who may edit every file directly inside a folder can delete it
  • Consent: the page opens for anyone who has manage_options or the Consent permission; the same check applies to the actions. Only granting and revoking role access requires manage_options
  • Analytics: an enabled role can open the page too; actions that change something — saving settings, deleting, goals, team, license — require manage_options
  1. Open “Kakapo Consent” in the WordPress menu
  2. In the sidebar under “Legal & Tools”, click “System”
  3. Go to the “Team — Role access” card
  4. Click “Grant” for the role you want; “Revoke” takes the permission away again

The administrator appears in this table with “always” and “fixed” — their access cannot be changed there.

Area permissions in Analytics

Under “Administration” → “Team”, Analytics has the “Role access” card, in which you enable individual areas for each role. An area that is not enabled does not appear in the sidebar, and its panel is not built in the first place. The system pages White Label, License and Guide are exempt from this, because they contain no visitor data.
