PublishPress Permissions Pro

WordPress user roles only go so far when several people share one site. An editorial team, a membership area or a community platform often needs different people to reach different content. PublishPress Permissions Pro lets administrators set access at a finer level, down to single posts, pages, categories, tags and custom post types, so sensitive material stays with the right users.

The plugin also adds custom user groups, so you can organize people without changing their WordPress roles. You can define your own publishing and privacy statuses, show teasers for restricted content, and control who can see and edit files in the Media Library. It can also create personalized pages or posts for users automatically, which suits staff directories and profile pages.

Features

• Viewing permissions by audience: Choose which roles, user groups or individual users can see a given post, page or custom content type, so private material is only visible to the people you pick.
• Editing permissions: Set who holds editorial rights over posts, pages, categories and tags, so teams can share the workload while each person edits only the content assigned to them.
• Content creation permissions: Define which users or groups may create new content in different areas of your site, which helps keep contributions organized and editorial quality consistent.
• Custom user groups: Place selected users into groups without altering their WordPress roles. This keeps permission sets simple to manage for specialized teams or memberships.
• Media Library access control: Manage who can view and edit files in the Media Library, covering images, videos and documents, to reduce the chance of unauthorized use.
• Teasers for restricted content: Show visitors a snippet or preview of locked content, inviting them to register or subscribe for full access on membership and premium sites.
• Automatic user content sync: Create and assign personalized pages or posts for users automatically, which works for staff directories, profile pages and individualized content.
• Custom publishing and privacy statuses: Build your own workflow stages and privacy settings to match how your editorial team or business handles content from draft to release.
