Tag ajax search in admin doesn't work if user role is less than editor

[yoavf]

in admin-ajax.php (case 'inline-save-tax') there's the following test:

if ( ! current_user_can('manage_categories') )

Contributors cannot manage_categories, so they cannot get ajax tag suggestions, and instead they get "-1"

You mean ajax-tag-search? I think requiring edit_posts is sufficient for tag suggest. It doesn't create new tags, just fetches existing ones.

Sorry about that, I did mean ajax-tag-search.
Added a patch with ('edit_posts') instead of ('manage_categories')

(In [10719]) Allow users with edit_posts cap to use ajax tag search. Props yoavf. fixes #8651
