<p>User Permissions is a plugin that takes the simple WordPress permissions models one step further and allows you to assign permissions to specific posts that restrict users or roles from reading or editing it.</p>
<p>To summarize:</p>
<ul>
<li>Restrict reading or writing of post or page according to the user’s role (i.e. prevent non-registered users reading a post)</li>
<li>Allow specific users to read or write a post or page</li>
<li>Permissions are assigned directly inside the post itself – there is no additional interface</li>
<li>Fully localized</li>
</ul>
