WPSAL (Simple Access List)

We have ONE goal in mind: making it easy to control access to pages and posts.

Taylor Lovett

<p>A simple plugin to let you control who has access to what posts. By default in WordPress, we can create users<br />
and assign them to roles. Roles are automatically assigned certain capabilities. See the codex article for a list of<br />
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities" rel="nofollow ugc">Roles and Capabilities</a>. Sometimes default roles are not enough,<br />
and we have one-off situations. Editorial Access Manager lets you set which users or roles have access to specific<br />
posts. Perhaps you have a user who is a Contributor, but you want them to have access to edit one specific page? This<br />
plugin can help you.</p>
<h4>Configuration Overview</h4>
<p>There are no overarching settings for this plugin. Simply go to the edit post screen in the WordPress admin and<br />
configure access settings in the “Editorial Access Manager” meta box in the sidebar.</p>
<h4>Managing Access by Roles</h4>
<p>In the “Editorial Access Manager” meta box, enable custom access management by “Roles”. Once enabled, the post can only be<br />
edited by users that fall into those roles. However, no matter what, the Administrator role can always edit any post.<br />
This if for safety reasons. You can also only use roles that have the “edit_posts” capability; therefore “Subscriber” by<br />
default cannot be used.</p>
<h4>Managing Access by Users</h4>
<p>In the “Editorial Access Manager” meta box, enable custom access management by “Users”. Once enabled, the post can only be<br />
edited by designated users. However, no matter what, any administrator can edit any post. This if for safety reasons.<br />
You can also only use users that have the “edit_others_posts” capability; therefore “Subscriber” users by default<br />
cannot be used.</p>
