    How to restrict access to Import Entries

    Estimated reading: 1 minutes

    Updated on April 24, 2026
    Screenshot of the Import/Export page of Gravity Forms

    It’s easy to give access to a custom user role to import entries by adding some capabilities to that role. But if you want to restrict access to the Import Entries tab in the Import/Export page of Gravity Forms, then you’ll need to use the code snippet below.

    /**
     * Remove the ability of a user to import entries based on their role.
     *
     * @param array $caps Array of capabilities required to display the UI.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    add_filter( 'gravityview/import/capabilities', function ( $caps ) {
    
        // REPLACE THIS with the role you want to exclude from importing entries.
        $role = 'editor';
    
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
    
        if ( ! $user || ! $user->exists() ) {
            return [];
        }
    
        if ( in_array( $role, $user->roles, true ) ) {
            return [];
        }
    
        return $caps;
    } );

    See how to add this code snippet to your website: Where to put code samples.
