Create a category per new user and restrict posting to that

  • Does a plugin or a hack like this exist already?

    – User registers
    – a new category with his username is created automatically
    – user is restricted to posting and managing only his category
    > this means he cannot see any other entries in the “manage” tab besides his own.

    Any ideas?

  • This is also something I’m looking to do – anybody?

    I assume the objectives here are twofolds: (a) privacy – user is not privy to who is writing what (at least not in a unified way … ie in one spot … as the author’s name will be on each post, if allowed for by the site owner); and (b) security – user can only post in his/her name.

    You can already achieve both of these objectives using two existing plugins.

    For (a), you can use Scott Reilly’s Custom Admin Post Listing (you have to go to his site, as it is not available in www.remarpro.com).

    For (b), Jordi Canals’ Capability Manager plugin is the tool you need.

    So, no single plugin to meet both of your objectives. But there are two existing plugins that will produce the same outcome.
