Assigning user roles

    Hello, I want to restrict authors from actually publishing new job listings, only create them. I’ve looked at adding the ‘manage_job_listings’ to the author user role so it’s fairly locked down.

    This seems to give them access to all features within the plugin.

    Are there any other role capabilities I can add or is it a case of all or nothing?

    Thanks

    Right now that capability is used for all job posting related things – however, you could simply enable the frontend submission form, and turn on the ‘approval required’ option. They would need to submit from the frontend, but nothing would be published without admin approval.

    Thanks, I’ll give that a try. I wasn’t sure if you could use filters to change the capability to ‘publish_posts’ to something other than ‘$admin_capability’…or create a custom capability for this that I can assign to a particular role…

    You can do that too yes, if you are comfortable using the filters. The entire set of args in register_post_type is filtered.
