<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>

<li><strong>Server Compatibility Check</strong>: Automatically detects if ownership functions are available on your server</li>
<li><strong>Batch Processing</strong>: Handles large directory structures efficiently with configurable batch sizes</li>
<li><strong>Real-time Progress</strong>: Visual progress bar with detailed statistics during processing</li>
<li><strong>Safety First</strong>: Multiple security checks and confirmations before making changes</li>
<li><strong>Selective Processing</strong>: Choose specific directories to process (entire site, wp-content, plugins, themes, or uploads)</li>
<li><strong>Smart Recommendations</strong>: Automatically detects and recommends the correct owner/group for your server</li>
<li><strong>Error Handling</strong>: Comprehensive error logging and reporting</li>
<li><strong>Responsive Interface</strong>: Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices</li>
<li><strong>Security Focused</strong>: Only administrators can use this tool, with proper nonce verification</li>
</ul>
<h4>Standard WordPress Permissions</h4>
