I'm trying to set up user types so that only certain users can edit certain pages. We will have some users with edit access to the same sets of pages so that "author" and "edit my own pages" isn't sufficient. i was hoping that Posts Groups would work but that only controls front-end access whereas I need backend access, not front-end. Please advise if this is possible.

Single Page/Post Control with Access would be done thru Post Groups, but those only have settings for Read permissions.
A Feature Request is filed to add as well edit, create, etc permissions to those controls, which would solve your request as well.

It is not possible on the backend right now, you would need to work with Forms, on the Front end, and eventually as well wrap those in conditions so to display certain forms to certain users only.

However this is not an equivalent "easy" solution as it would be if Post Groups would allow to do it.

I added your voice to the request.

It can as well be upvoted here:

OK thank you. I've upvoted the feature release as it seems to be something that align well with the rest of the plugin functionality. Is it possible to get an alert when and if the feature is ever released?
