<p>Access is a simple scalable plugin to control user access via the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies" rel="nofollow ugc">taxonomy API</a> and user <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities" rel="nofollow ugc">roles/capabilities</a>/IDs. It creates an Access taxonomy whose terms can be used on any post type to restrict access. Term slugs can match a role, capability, or user ID.</p>
