I should add, not all the menu options which could appear do. For example, when logged on as admin I can see the plugin menu notifying me of one plugin to update, but this does not appear to the subscribers who are being shown the menu options.

Group Forums or bbPress sitewide forums? What theme are you using? Also, are you using any membership plugin?
@mercime Thanks for the reply, answers are as follows:
* Group Forums
* Custom-built child theme based on Buddypress default theme (as I can’t replicate the problem myself I’ve been unable to test whether the fault persists when I switch themes)
* The only membership plugin I’m using is User Role Editor. I’ve used this to create a new Subscriber role I’ve called ‘Super Subscriber’ which has one extra function. However both ordinary Subscribers and Super Subscribers have reported being able to see these extra icons.
If you’ve been unable to recreate the problem yourself, it makes it very difficult for us to recreate it. If you figure out how to recreate it, let us know.
@djpaul I appreciate that. It is immensely frustrating not to be able to recreate it.
