Do you want to give users a private area to share information based on a role they have been assigned?
…this plugin allows you to quickly create a custom post type for user roles. This allows users, with a specific role, the ability to create and edit their own ‘help notes’ providing a private set of notes for use. It can be used for anything else that fits with that role ( e.g. creating and sharing ideas within teams, minutes-of-meetings, formal notes… etc.).
To add new roles to the basic WordPress roles (Administrator, Editor, Subscriber ..etc ) you will need to use another plugin refer to <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Resources" rel="nofollow ugc">Roles_and_Capabilities</a> and Resources.. Plugins. You can then use one of these plugins ( e.g. <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/" title="User Role Editor" rel="ugc">User Role Editor</a> ) to allocate users to multiple roles.
So if you want to quickly give a group a private area to share and post ideas/notes .. 
1. Create a new role. 
2. Add users to the role. 
3. Enable the Help Notes from the settings.
A global ‘General Help Notes’ type is also available which is not tided to a specific role, this has the same access/capabilities as the standard WordPress ‘post’ type for write access. Unlike the other Help Notes the General Type is public to read, you can see an example over at an <a href="https://justinandco.com/plugins/help-notes/" rel="nofollow ugc">example content page</a>.
There is a widget available to list all users with access to the current Help Note type on display. The user display_name is shown and can be selected by each user within their own profile.
