Hi!
I've a post form and I want to show the message "You don't have access" for users with role < author (only logged authors or greater can use this form).

I attach an image with my condition, but it doesn't works and show always the message.

thanks

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Using the greater than evaluation won't work in this case and you'll have to join the conditional statements for each role, separately.

As shown in the screenshot "form-allow-condition", you'll see that the statements for the allowed user roles have been joined together using the "OR" operator, so that the form can be placed within this conditional block. As a result, the form will only show if the current user role is either administrator, editor, or author.

Likewise, as shown in the screenshot "form-not-allowed-condition", you can see that the "not" operator is checked with the same conditional statements as before, so that the "not allowed" message can be shown to users if they are not administrator, editor, or author.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Thanks It works. But, for the allow condition can I use "Post Forms Frontend Access" instead the if condition?

That is, if I use "Toolset acces control", the allow condition is necessary?

thanks

Thanks for the update and glad that it works.

I shared the examples for both scenarios, to make the conditional usage more clear.

Your understanding is correct and if you're already using "Toolset access control", then the "allow" condition is not necessary.
