Toolset Access

Many WordPress sites need more than the default user roles. A membership site has to keep content for members only, and a multi-author blog needs to limit who can edit or delete posts. A business portal may need certain areas visible to some groups and hidden from others. Toolset Access gives you one place to define those rules.

You build custom roles, then set what each role can view, create, edit or delete across posts, pages, custom post types and other content. Users can be placed in groups so permissions are assigned in bulk. The plugin works with other Toolset plugins, so access rules can also cover custom fields, views and front-end forms. Developers can extend the logic through hooks and APIs.

Features

• Custom role creation: Create user roles that match how your site is organized, so each contributor, member or visitor gets the access that suits their part.
• Granular content permissions: Set detailed permissions for posts, pages, custom post types and other content, so each user sees only what they are authorized to see.
• Content editing restrictions: Control who can create, edit or delete content in specified areas of the site, which helps prevent unintended changes.
• Works with the Toolset suite: Manage access rules for custom fields, views and front-end forms when you use it alongside other Toolset plugins.
• User grouping: Organize users into groups and assign permissions in bulk, which suits large teams or membership tiers.
• Role-based display: Show or hide menus, widgets and content blocks depending on the visitor's role, so different users see different content.
• Multisite compatibility: Manage user roles and permissions across WordPress multisite networks, useful for agencies or businesses running several sites.
• Hooks and APIs for developers: Developers can extend and customize the access control logic through the provided hooks and APIs when the settings alone are not enough.
