We have about 10 CPT. Each share a taxonomy that I called "visibilitees".
I need Editors to work on the backend, but I do not want them to have access to all the posts.
They will have access to all the CPTs but if a post has a specific taxonomy selected (visibilitees) they will not have access to this specific post. This way I can create different access for editor
Hope I am clear. Thanks

Toolset Access doesn't currently have any term-based restriction features, so what you're looking for isn't exactly possible with Toolset. You can use Access's post groups and User roles to restrict post access, or you would have to use custom code or a 3rd-party plugin to implement a taxonomy term-based restriction in wp-admin. I don't have a cut-and-paste code sample for this type of restriction to share, unfortunately, since it's not something Access is designed to accomplish.
