The feature to edit the user’s capabilities for Everest Forms, using third party plugins like Members, User Role Editor etc is now available in the Everest Forms Pro. Using this feature along with these third party plugins, you can now allow users of any role to perform particular/all actions related to Everest Forms like add,edit, delete, previews and much more.
