Granular Permissions
-
As a general rule, a DMS allows documents to be secured, managed and version controlled. Generally this means work flows and user rules for creating, editing, downloading and viewing. A person may have elevated permissions in one group but limited permissions in another.

I have a group of people who will create and edit documents (generally the document’s owner). Right now this group of people are EDITORS. I have another series of people who need to download/read those documents, but should NOT be able to create/edit them. Right now this group of people are SUBSCRIBERS.
Right now, SUBSCRIBERS, even when logged in, cannot see anything an EDITOR creates.
Additionally, an EDITOR of one document, may need to be a SUBSCRIBER on another document.
Also, there are documents specific to certain departments. I’m trying to use the “Edit Flow” plugin’s “Groups” to make this happen, by using our department names as group names. However, I don’t seem to be having any luck restricting documents to a specific group.
Finally, no document should be publicly available to the outside world. All people, regardless of their permission level, should have to log in to view a document.
This seems pretty basic to me and I can verify this functionality is at the root of every other DMS I’ve used. So, I assume I am missing something as I cannot seem to find any of this functionality in WP Document Revisions.
What am I missing?

I believe I found what I was looking for in the taxonomy-permissions.php file from your Code Cookbook.
However, I believe line 225 has the wrong class, so the expansion no longer works. I believe the class should be “WP_Document_Revisions” not “Document_Revisions”
Also, it references a “Members” plugin which I cannot find. Would be great if there was a URL here, for that specific plugin.
