Access plugin lets you control what sections different user roles can reach in the WordPress admin and on the front-end. You can create your own custom roles and choose exactly what administration capabilities they have on the site.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us the roles that you want to create and the desired capabilities of these roles.
Problem: I would like to use a conditional to show information to Users in a specific role "Manager". My site allows multiple roles, and [wpv-current-user info="role"] only returns the first role. So if the User's secondary role is Manager, this won't work in a conditional to test for the Manager role.
Solution: You can use Toolset's Access control shortcode to test if the current User has any role, including primary and secondary roles.
[toolset_access role="manager" operator="allow"]
I am a manager
[/toolset_access]
Problem: I would like to use Forms to allow Users to submit and edit posts. I would like to group Users by Company, and allow all Users from the same Company to read and edit all posts by all Users from the same Company.
Solution: Unfortunately there isn't a simple option that will allow you to create this type of filter. I think the simplest option is to add a custom field that holds a Company ID in the User profile, and add another custom field that holds the Company ID in each post. When each User submits content, the Company ID from their User profile could be used to set a custom field in the submitted post. Then you could filter a View by Company ID, and that would show each User content from other Users in their own Company.
Another more complex solution is to use a proxy custom post type that represents Users - something like "Employees". Each User is the post author of one Employee post. Then you can use post relationships to relate Employees and Companies. Then you can use Views post relationship filters to show and hide content based on which Company the Employee is related to. We have more information about using a proxy post type available here: https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-create-custom-searches-and-relationships-for-users/
See the first FAQ for more information about how you can limit each User to only one Employee post.
