Is possible to only allow Administrators to moderate comments via the frontend moderation tool? We allow editors to modify their posts, but don't want to allow them to modify or delete comments from other users. Currently, I need to toggle the plugin on/off whenever it needs to be used by an admin.

@dale-bock,

Please use the hook code below:

global $wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration;
    if (function_exists('wpDiscuz') && $wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration && !current_user_can("manage_options")) {
        remove_action("wpdiscuz_comment_buttons", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "addButtons"], 13, 4);
        remove_action("wpdiscuz_filtering_buttons", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "filterButton"], 13, 2);
        remove_action("wp_ajax_wfem_move_comment", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "moveComment"], 13);
        remove_action("wp_ajax_wfem_post_titles", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "postTitles"], 13);
        remove_action("wpdiscuz_comment_buttons", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "addButtons"], 13, 4);
        remove_action("wp_ajax_wfem_blacklist", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "setToBlacklist"], 13);
        remove_action("wpdiscuz_comments_args", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "commentArguments"], 13);
        remove_action("wp_ajax_wfem_moderate", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "responseToModeration"], 13);
        remove_filter("wpdiscuz_filter_args", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "filterArgs"], 13);
        remove_filter("wpdiscuz_js_options", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "moderateScriptArray"], 13);
        remove_action("wp_ajax_wfem_delete", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "deleteComment"], 13);
        remove_action("wp_ajax_wfem_email", [&$wpDiscuzFrontEndModeration, "sendMail"], 13);
    }

Put the code in the WordPress active theme functions.php file. This article should be helpful for you: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-code-in-wordpress-without-breaking-your-site/
