This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user uses Toolset Access to manage permissions on custom post types. He also has a view that displays several custom post types. This view displays some posts that are restricted to the current user.
Solution:
Views queries do not take into consideration Toolset Access permissions or the default WordPress permissions. For example, a default view will display only the published posts. But, if you choose to display the draft posts or the private posts, it will display them without taking into consideration WordPress default permissions.
CPTs post pages, instead, are bound to WordPress default permissions and Toolset Access permissions.
To be able to use the same view and display different CPTs for different kinds of users, the only way, is to use custom code. You will have to use the hook to modify the view's query post types based on the user type.
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'prefix_change_post_types' );
function prefix_change_post_types( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
if ( $view_id == 123 ) { // change this ID with the ID of your view
$types = (array) $query_args['post_type'];
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// display only posts and pages for non admin users
$query_args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'page' );
}
}
return $query_args;
}
