[Resolved] Create a User Role with only access to a specific taxonomy inside a Post

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to restrict their posts based on the User Role and the Taxonomies attached to the post.

Solution:

Unfortunately this isn't possible to do with our plugins since a role cant be denied access to a post based on the assigned taxonomy unless there is some custom coding used.

Might I suggest splitting your Posts into 4 different Posts Types? This way you can restrict access to the post type itself.

This is actually how it is meant to work. For more information on our access capabilities I would recommend checking out the documentation below.

Posts are classifieds in 4 main categories (we call them Univers - we created a custom taxonomy). I need to create a User Role per Univer that will only be able to access/edit the Posts inside a specific Univer . Thanks

Hi Charles,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Based on what I read here is that you want to group your specific posts based on a taxonomy term and then allow specific user roles to access the posts based on the taxonomy of the post.

Unfortunately this isn't possible to do with our plugins since a role cant be denied access to a post based on the assigned taxonomy unless there is some custom coding used.

Might I suggest splitting your Posts into 4 different Posts Types? This way you can restrict access to the post type itself.

Please let me know what you think of this.

Thanks,
Shane
