<p>Editor Remit gives administrators fine-grained control over which categories editors and authors can work in. Assign permitted categories to a user and they will only see and edit content within those categories — nothing else.</p>
<p><strong>Who is it for?</strong></p>
<p>Organisations and agencies managing WordPress sites with multiple contributors across distinct content areas. Common examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>A university with departments each managing their own news and pages</li>
<li>A company where different teams own different sections of the site</li>
<li>An agency managing a client site with multiple editors who should not have access to each other’s content</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How it works</strong></p>
<p>Once a user has permitted categories assigned, Remit:</p>
<ul>
<li>Filters the post and page list screens to show only content in their permitted categories</li>
<li>Restricts the category selector in the block editor to their permitted categories only</li>
<li>Blocks any attempt to save content outside their permitted categories — enforced server-side, not just in the UI</li>
<li>Allows access to uncategorised content (posts or pages with no categories assigned) so nothing is inadvertently locked away</li>
</ul>
<p>Restrictions apply to users with the <strong>Editor</strong> or <strong>Author</strong> role only. Administrators are always unrestricted.</p>
<p>If a user has no categories assigned, no restriction is applied — they behave as normal.</p>
<p><strong>Page support</strong></p>
<p>By default WordPress does not enable categories for pages. Editor Remit includes an optional setting to add category support to pages and apply the same restrictions there too. Enable it under <strong>Settings > Editor Remit</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Block editor (Gutenberg) support</strong></p>
<p>Remit works fully with the block editor. The category panel is filtered in real time to show only permitted categories. Saves are validated server-side via the REST API.</p>
<p><strong>Lean and focused</strong></p>
<p>Remit does one thing well. It does not touch custom post types, custom taxonomies, tags, or any other content type. There are no complex role matrices, capability editors, or access control lists to configure.</p>
<p><strong>Current limitations</strong></p>
<p>Remit restricts posts and optionally pages only. Custom post types, custom taxonomies, and multisite installations are not currently supported.</p>

<h4>Peace of mind with backups and restore</h4>
<p>Not sure if planned role changes will pan out? Don’t worry – simply take a backup of the existing configuration from within the plugin so that you can always restore a known working configuration should something break.</p>
<h4>Better guidance with out-of-the-box custom roles</h4>
<p>Melapress Role Editor comes with a number of pre-configured roles designed to help you get started quickly. Modeled after common roles in the WordPress business, such as Business owner, Developer, and HR manager, each role has been designed to respect the principle of least privilege while giving you a head start in configuring new custom roles.</p>
<h4>Simplify complexity with multiple roles and capability deny</h4>
<p>WordPress environments can get pretty complex, so we added features to accommodate every scenario. You can assign users multiple roles to avoid creating additional roles. You can also explicitly deny capabilities to ensure the utmost level of security in complex scenarios.</p>
