I would like to create a wordpress role (called resource manager) that can only edit content in a single post type (resources) but can edit no other content. Is this possable with acccess? If so could you point me at relevant documentation or outline the steps.

I took a look at it but couldnt quite figure it out

Thanks

Yes, you can do that.

If you manage the various post types with Access, then you can specify which roles can do what for each post type.

These two documents should cover your use-case:

Nigel thanks Ive create a new role "resource manager" and give access the ability to control it and given it all of the available permissions.

However if im logged in as a user with that role i can't edit any if the toolset field group fields assigned to that post type

Hello,

I would like to ask for temporary access to your admin site’s wp-admin .

I will simply recheck the access plugin configuration you had for this manager and maybe create a new testing user,

Hello,

It turns out to be a simple tweak in the type fields setting in the access field like this : hidden link

Toolset Access let you manage access of your users in a detailed manners, you could also limit taxonomies access and more, feel free to discover other tabs in the Access tool.

I hope this answers your question,
