By default, custom post types and custom fields are not accessible via the WordPress REST API. REST API Enabler allows you to:
<ol>
<li>Enable the WP REST API for custom post types and specify WP REST API custom endpoints.</li>
<li>Choose which custom fields to include in WP REST API responses for posts, pages, and custom post types.</li>
</ol>
All enabled custom field data is included in the REST API response, nested under the <code>rest_api_enabler</code> key, like so:
<pre><code>[
 {
 "id": 179,
 "date": "2016-07-03T18:06:50",
 "title": {
 "rendered": "Test Job"
 },
 .
 .
 .
 "rest_api_enabler": {
 "custom_meta_1": "Value 1",
 "custom_meta_2": "Value 2",
 "custom_meta_3": [
 "Array value 1",
 "Array value 2"
 ]
 }
 }
]
</code></pre>
Note: prior to verion 1.1.0, all meta keys were included as top-level keys in the API response. Additionally, all values were returned as arrays, regardless of whether the original value was actually an array. This functionality is now deprecated as it risks key-name collisions. Please reference the <code>rest_api_enabler</code> top-level key instead.
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ol>
<li>Activate the plugin, then go to Settings → REST API Enabler in the admin.</li>
<li>Click the Post Types tab to enable/disable post types and customize their endpoints.</li>
<li>Click the Post Meta tab to enable/disable post meta (custom fields).</li>
</ol>
NOTE: by default, the plugin does not display settings for protected post meta (post meta that begins with an underscore and is intended for internal use only). If you wish to include protected post meta in the plugin settings, you can use the <code>rae_include_protected_meta</code> filter to do so. The following code can be placed in your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file, or in a custom plugin (on <code>init</code> priority 10 or earlier):
<pre><code>add_filter( 'rae_include_protected_meta', '__return_true' );
</code></pre>

WP User Groups

This plugin is tremendously solid. Used it to build a complex system of content teams who could only create or edit content within their own team. WP User Groups handled the "teams" of users which corresponded with taxonomy terms associated with the content. Works like a charm. Plugin itself is lightweight and simple to grasp.



Solid foundation for development

I've been using this for a fairly complex WP build and I've been very impressed. The back-end is easy for users and there's a nice API for devs. Two thumbs up.

Very well-executed

When you need to group your many users beyond just their role, this is the pluging. Works very well, properly coded.

Very useful

WP User Groups allows users to be categorized using custom taxonomies & terms.
