Access is a WordPress plugin that lets you add custom roles and control their privileges.
Access User Guides include detailed documentation for controlling what actions different roles and users can do on content and what WordPress admin screens users can access.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us the versions of the Toolset plugins that you have installed and activated.

Problem: I have used Access to hide posts from Guest users, but I would can still see post information in search results. I would like to hide this information from Guest users.
Solution: A WordPress Archive is used to display search results. That archive is built in the legacy shortcode version, so you can use Access Control shortcodes in the archive's contents to suppress any visible information. The syntax is as follows:
[toolset_access role="Guest" operator="deny"]
Guests will never see anything inside this shortcode.
[/toolset_access]
If the archive is built using the Blocks Editor, you may use conditional blocks to achieve the same effect.
Problem:
The user uses Toolset Access to manage permissions on custom post types. He also has a view that displays several custom post types. This view displays some posts that are restricted to the current user.
Solution:
Views queries do not take into consideration Toolset Access permissions or the default WordPress permissions. For example, a default view will display only the published posts. But, if you choose to display the draft posts or the private posts, it will display them without taking into consideration WordPress default permissions.
CPTs post pages, instead, are bound to WordPress default permissions and Toolset Access permissions.
To be able to use the same view and display different CPTs for different kinds of users, the only way, is to use custom code. You will have to use the hook to modify the view's query post types based on the user type.
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'prefix_change_post_types' );
function prefix_change_post_types( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
if ( $view_id == 123 ) { // change this ID with the ID of your view
$types = (array) $query_args['post_type'];
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// display only posts and pages for non admin users
$query_args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'page' );
}
}
return $query_args;
}
