This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to hide the Content Template and Template Layout metaboxes from certain role Users.
Solution: It's not possible through wp-admin, but you could use a custom code snippet to hide these boxes.
add_action( 'admin_head', 'wpv_custom_admin_head', 20);
function wpv_custom_admin_head() {
if ( ! current_user_can( 'delete_others_pages' ) ) { // Only run if the user is an Author or lower.
$slugs = array(
'post',
'page',
'custom-cpt-slug',
);
remove_meta_box( 'wpddl_template', $slugs, 'side' );
remove_meta_box( 'views_template', $slugs, 'side' );
}
}
Modify the $slugs array to include a comma-separated list of each post type slug where you want to hide the metaboxes.
