Settings: Access
The Access tab decides who may open SSA Analytics at all, instead of every WordPress administrator. It holds one list of people; everyone else is blocked, including other admins.
Where to find it
Go to Settings → Access, at admin.php?page=sad-subscription-analytics-settings&tab=access. Only someone with full access can open it; it is not visible, even read-only, to anyone else.
Who can view versus who can manage
Being on the list grants View only: the Dashboard, every report, and reading data. Being on the list AND holding full WordPress Administrator rights grants Full access as well: Settings, connecting or disconnecting a payment provider, running a sync, and every other write. Each row on the tab shows a pill computed live from the person's current WordPress role, so promoting a listed Editor to Administrator flips them to Full access immediately, with no need to remove and re-add them.
| On the list, and... | Sees |
|---|---|
| a full WordPress Administrator | Full access: the whole SSA menu, Settings, Payment Providers, sync controls, and every write endpoint. |
| any other role (Editor, Shop Manager, and similar) | View only: the Dashboard and reports, but no Settings or Manual Payments entry, and every write is refused. |
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Add a person | A search box that finds any WordPress user by name or email and adds them to the list the moment you click a result. There is no separate save step for this action. On screen: "Search by name or email" Starts searching after 2 characters; matches username, email, display name or nickname; excludes anyone already on the list; returns at most 15 matches. | Empty. |
Each row in the list below shows a Remove button, except on your own row, which shows You instead: you cannot remove yourself. The list can never be emptied, and it must always keep at least one full administrator; both are enforced with an on-screen message if you try.
What an administrator not on the list sees
A WordPress Administrator who is simply not on this list sees no SSA Analytics entry in the sidebar at all, and none of the notices SSA shows elsewhere in wp-admin (the not-configured warning, the reconnect error, and similar). If they type an SSA admin URL directly, WordPress itself refuses the page before any SSA code runs, the same way it refuses any page a role lacks the underlying capability for.
What saving does
The Access tab does not use the sticky Save changes bar at the bottom of the page at all. Adding someone from the search results and clicking Remove both take effect immediately over their own request, the instant you act; there is nothing to save afterward.
