Use of RegEx, or parent page perhaps, to restrict user edit ability?

    Hi,

    This is a bit of a long shot but I wondered if there was any functionality within the plugin which would allow the use of regular expression to set an area that a user role can edit? For example rather than manually selecting individual pages or posts they can edit instead setting that they can edit anything found in or under /marketing/ (for example)? Alternatively can edit rights be inherited based on newly created pages being children of a parent page which the user role can edit?

    Thanks. More than happy to go with the Pro version if this kind of control/restriction would be achievable with that.

    Hi,

    Pro version restricts access to all child pages automatically if the parent one is restricted. It’s a default behaviour, but could be switched off by filter.
    This is a quote from the changes list for the Pro version 4.23 (current version 4.24.6):

    New: Edit posts restrictions add-on: Rules are applied automatically to the child pages of the allowed/blocked page.
    Use ‘ure_auto_access_child_pages’ filter if you wish to exclude the child pages from the edit restriction rules.
    It should be used as a ‘must-use’ plugin, because of this filter is applied earlier then theme is loaded.
    It seems that it’s too late to insert it into the theme’s functions.php file.

    Great, thanks for clarifying Vladimir.

    Vladimir,
    I just found this after tracking the error thru your code

    I used

    add_filter('ure_auto_access_child_pages', '__return_empty_string');

    to remove the children, but where the filter is applied on line 595 of posts-edit-access-user.php I believe it should be

    return $posts_list;

    Hi adrock42,

    Thanks a lot for this bug report. You are right. I will add missed $post_list parameter with a next update.
