[Geschlossen] Can I create a relationship between a Post and a User?

I have an event session that I would like to relate to multiple users (speakers). Can I do this is actual WP Users, or do I need to create a shadow CPT of "person".

The use case is that I would like to let the speakers be actual users so they can log in, manage the session, upload materials, etc.

If relationships can only be between CPTs, what are best practices for what data to store where and managing that relationship? My initial thoughts would be:
1. Just have a basic User account with the correct role.
2. Have a "Person" CPT with all day-to-day fields (address, etc.). Set the author of that "Person" to be the User (so they can edit their record).
3. Set up the relationship between "Person" and "Session".

From a, Access/CRED perspective how do I manage constraining user editing of Sessions that they are assigned to? Is they were actual Users that would be easy.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

First of all you are not able to create relationships between users and CPT.

However as you mentioned your best option is to create CPT called person to essentially be the users profile.

Next you will use this to create the relationship between the 2. You can use the Access plugin to manage the Session CPT where a user is unable to modify a session they are assigned to since the access permission will restrict them.

From the link below you can see how to manage the CPT using access.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
