• I am trying to create a site with WP that has different levels of access for different types of content. I know there are a number of plugins that do this to some degree, but I just can’t find a plugin that does the following:

    * Restrict content on the Page, Post and Block level based on the logged-in role.
    * Not use a financial model (like most membership plugins)

    The use case I have is for users in my department who have different levels of access depending on their role.

    * Staff have only basic access and can see posts and pages at the lowest level of security.
    * Managers can see all the information of staff, plus two additional menu items, additional sidebar items
    * Executives would see all the content of the previous roles plus an additional menu item, and an extra block in the sidebar.

    There is only 1 person posting all the content (me) so there are no complex issues on who can post or use some tool – everyone simply has read access. The only challenge is to render pages that contain information that matches their role.

    The critical thing is that staff should NOT be able to see anything that is for Manager or Exec level. The plugins I have seen do not do this – instead they show the excerpt, with a “more” button. If they don’t have access, they are directed to a page indicating they don’t have sufficient privileges. I don’t want that – it is important that the lower roles cannot see the content in any way.

    Anyone know of a plugin (or combo) that will achieve this?

    Thanks!
