Forms App user roles

Those two apps use different privileges, so I can't see how one could depend on the other. Have you logged the user out between testing the changes?

I have been logging out yes, could the UI be dependant on it? (i.e. could access with the correct url but the button just isn't appearing?)

Here's a video of it in inaction https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cohi6Bfhk1.

This looks like a bug with the topbar menu - I'd hazard a guess that it doesn't matter which other app you enable, as long as it's more than one. Is that right?

Yes, if I select Assets + Forms and it appears (without Categories).

Ok, that sounds like a bug then. We'll get it logged and fixed.

Huh, In my case it doesn't matter if I have checked Categories, no apps appear on User > Editor :/.
