    Hi there,

    I am wondering what permission level is required to be able to export the database?

    I have enabled ‘manage_options’ to display the database and ‘export’, but I get ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.’ when I click ‘Export XLS’

    I’m honestly wondering the same thing. I need to give a client’s role access to download those reports, but can’t seem to figure out the capability or permission level required! Works fine from my account.

    After a bit more looking, here is the issue: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/capability-stuck-on-administrator-user-role-only-for-export/

    The submenu page itself (where the file is generated and sent to the browser) isn’t using anything explicit for the capability.

    For now, since this is a mission-critical part of this client’s site, I have had to make a “company fork” of this plugin, with the change described in the link above, and will continue just using that for now.

    Hopefully that may help a bit @carolineelisa
