Widget Permissions

Widget permissions functionality allows you to display widgets on the front-end based on the user type. While in the widget edit screen, you will see some user restriction fields, that allows you to set that widgets permission.

Permission Types

widget permissions by role
Administrator role is selected by default and cannot be removed.

Widget Permissions Capability

“edit_widget_permissions” capability is required to access the user restrictions section. This is a WPFront created capability. By default this capability is enabled for Administrator. When a user who do not have this capability is editing the widget, they won’t see the permissions section and the existing permissions won’t get overwritten, they will still be applied as long as the widget is not deleted.
