[Closed] Access Roles for Post Type connections

I'm attempting to setup access roles that allow members to connect a post to another post type via an established relationship. I do not want them to be able to create new or even edit the existing types of the relationship. For instance I am creating a website that is a collaborative writing group. We break our stories down into what essentially would be like a TV episode and then multiple scenes within the episode.

I would like members to be able to write a new scene and connect it to an existing episode but not edit or create new episodes.

I was not able to find any documentation that was helpful.

Hello,

In order to setup the connections, it needs to grant "Publish" permission to the WP user, so there isn't such kind of built-in feature, you might consider to use custom CSS codes to hide the "Add new episode" button.

Or you can use Toolset post form to create the child posts, so user can only create the child posts in frontend, see our document:

Please keep ticket open, this is a hobby website and development is not worked on regularly. I will mark resolved once I have time to do further research, thanks.
