<p>If you have a private network where all sites are open to anyone with an account, but still want the ability to invite someone from outside and limit their access to a single site, then Network Restricted Members is for you.</p>
<p>This plugin was developed for our private <a href="http://p2theme.com" rel="nofollow ugc">P2</a> network, which is open to all company employees. However, we still wanted to be able to bring contractors and clients over without giving them access to everything on the network.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Network Restricted Members provides a user setting that allows multisite network administrators to restrict a user to the sites he or she is a member of.</p>
<ol>
<li>As a super admin, navigate to the Users dashboard</li>
<li>Click ‘Edit’ on the user you wish to restrict</li>
<li>Check the option ‘Restrict User Access’</li>
<li>Save your changes</li>
</ol>
<p>From this point on, administrators will need to add this user to their sites before he or she is able to see them.</p>
<p>If you wish to lift the restrictions on a user, repeat the steps above but <em>uncheck</em> the option box instead.</p>
<h4>Other plugins</h4>
<p>Network Restricted Members works best when combined with a network privacy plugin, such as one of the following:</p>

<p><strong>Restrict User Access is a fast and simple Membership Plugin for WordPress. Restrict your content in minutes, NOT hours.</strong></p>
<p>Quickly set up a paid membership site where your users can get different levels such as Platinum, Gold, or Free. Then, grant those levels when a user purchases a product in WooCommerce.</p>
<h3>👥 Unlimited Access Levels</h3>
<p>Users can have multiple levels, and you control how long memberships should last. When unauthorized users try to access restricted content, you can redirect them to another URL or display a teaser.</p>
<h3>⚡ Level Membership Automations</h3>
<p>Automatically add levels to your users based on something they do (Triggers) or something they are (Traits):</p>
<ul>
<li>User Registration</li>
<li>User Roles</li>
<li>Logged-in or Guests</li>
<li>WooCommerce Purchases</li>
<li>Easy Digital Downloads Purchases</li>
<li>BuddyPress Member Types</li>
<li>GiveWP Donations</li>
</ul>
<h3>🔒 Contextual Content Protection</h3>
<p>Prevent unauthorized users from visiting your posts, pages, or categories. You can even combine the conditions: protect all posts tagged “Premium” written by a select author.</p>
<p>The following Access Conditions are available out of the box:</p>
<ul>
<li>Posts, Pages & Custom Post Types</li>
<li>Content with Tags, Categories, or Custom Taxonomies</li>
<li>Content written by select Authors</li>
<li>Page Templates</li>
<li>Blog Page & Post Type Archives</li>
<li>Author Archives</li>
<li>Taxonomy Archives</li>
<li>Front Page, Search Results, 404 Not Found Page</li>
<li>bbPress Profiles, Forums & Topics</li>
<li>BuddyPress Profile Sections</li>
<li>Languages (Polylang, qTranslate X, TranslatePress, Transposh, Weglot, WPML)</li>
<li>Pods Pages</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that Access Conditions do not apply to content displayed in lists.</p>
<h3>✅ Grant & Deny Capabilities</h3>
<p>The easy-to-use WordPress User Manager gives you full control over the capabilities the members should or shouldn’t have. Access Level Capabilities will override the permissions set by roles or other plugins.</p>
<h3>👁️ Hide Admin Bar & Nav Menu Visibility</h3>
<p>Disable the admin bar for select levels and control what menu items members can see. You can even hide any widget area created with <a href="https://dev.institute/wordpress-sidebars/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=section&utm_campaign=rua" rel="nofollow ugc">Content Aware Sidebars</a></p>
<h3>🤖 Restrict Content from Other Plugins</h3>
<p>Restrict User Access autodetects Custom Post Types and Taxonomies created by any plugin or theme. Built-in support for some of the most popular WordPress plugins means that you e.g. can restrict access to bbPress forums or multilingual content.</p>
<ul>
<li>bbPress</li>
<li>BuddyPress</li>
<li>Easy Digital Downloads</li>
<li>Pods</li>
<li>Polylang</li>
<li>TranslatePress</li>
<li>WooCommerce</li>
<li>Weglot</li>
<li>WPML</li>
<li>and more …</li>
</ul>
<h3>🛡️ WordPress Security Enhancements</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>WP REST API Content Protection</strong><br />
Enforces PoLA to minimize attack surfaces and stop threat actors from harvesting your data</li>
<li><strong>How to display content in lists</strong><br />
Display excerpts only or hide content when post types are displayed in blog, archives, search results, lists, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3>📑 Restrict Content with Shortcodes</h3>
<p>Fine-tune content visibility in your posts or pages by adding simple shortcodes:</p>
<pre><code>[restrict level="platinum"]
This content can only be seen by users with Platinum level or above.
[/restrict]

[restrict level="!platinum"]
This content can only be seen by users without Platinum level or above.
[/restrict]

[restrict role="editor,contributor" page="1"]
This content can only be seen by editors and contributors.
Other users will see content from page with ID 1.
[/restrict]

[login-form]
</code></pre>
<h3>👋 Developer-friendly API</h3>
<p>Restrict User Access makes it super easy for developers to programmatically customize WordPress access control by adding a few lines of code to theme templates.</p>
<h4>Example – Add level to current user</h4>
<pre><code>rua_get_user()->add_level($level_id);
</code></pre>
<h4>Example – Check if current user has an active level membership</h4>
<pre><code>if(rua_get_user()->has_level($level_id)) {
    //show restricted content
} else {
    //show content if unauthorized
}
</code></pre>
