I'd like to know if with Access Control I can I limit some specific role to edit specific pages only?
For example: I have a website with the following pages: "Hospital A", "Hospital B" and "Hospital C" and the following roles: hospital_A_role, hospital_B_role, hospital_C_role. Every role has several users. I'd like to know if, with Access Control, I can let the users having the hospital_B_role edit only the page named "Hospital B". Thanks.

Hi Noman,
I'm sorry but I cannot figure out from that guide how to make it work my situation. Steps 1 and 2 are ok but then I'm totally lost. Please help. Thanks.

Actually even on "Pre-step" I'm not sure if I have to create my role based on editor/contributor/author. I'm very confused. Sorry about that.

Hello Alessandro,

1. You need to create 3 user roles:
Hospital A users, Hospital B users, Hospital C users

2. Create 3 Post groups:
Hospital A, Hospital B, Hospital C

3. Now enable access to each specific role, as mentioned in step 3 of doc:
For Hospital A Post group, enable Hospital A users and so on.

4. Click on “Modify Group” button, and Add your pages which you want to access by only Hospital A users, as mentioned in Step 2 of doc.

Thank you

Thank you for you trying but there is no more additional information on your last message (it's just a copy and paste of the guide that is already not understandable). I give up with this plugin. I will use User Role Editor Pro instead.
