What is the best way to allow the editors role (or other role) to “full access” (edit, create, etc.) forms as admin role?

I have seen:

> **[Role and Capability Management](https://docs.gravityforms.com/role-management-guide/)**
>
> Gravity Forms introduces new capabilities to the WordPress Role system. These capabilities are only manageable via a plugin that makes use of the WordPress Role Management system.

but I don’t see one that gives “full access” as admin role.

thanks

Hi Suki. If you want the editor role to have access to everything in Gravity Forms, you can use a role manager plugin like [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/) or [User Role Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/) and give them all the individual Gravity Forms and Gravity Forms Add-On capabilities. There is no one role to give them that grants all that.

Thanks Chris.

I have found this code;

```auto
/* make gravity forms available to Editor role */
function add_gf_cap()
{
    $role = get_role( 'editor' );
    $role->add_cap( 'gform_full_access' );
}
 add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_gf_cap' );

```

What do think? betther than manage individual Gravity Forms and Gravity Forms Add-On capabilities?

If that works for you, that is a good solution. If you run into any problems, please let us know.
