Restricted Access – CMS

  • Hi all,
    I want to provide access to the CMS but prevent users from; updating, move to Trash and/or deleting (pages, posts or comments). I have created different users but none give the access whilst preventing the user from making changes.

    I suspect the answer lies within the WP-Admin and/or database config?

    Thanks in advance
    David

  • what you need to do is use the following plugins.

    basically set access right to certain user roles ie author.

    Hope this helps

    isimpledesign,
    Thanks for the guidance!

    I have installed the suggested pluggins however, between Users, Restrictions, Roles and UAM (User Access Manager) I can’t “see the wood for the trees”.

    I have setup a User called ‘user’ assigned to a role of ‘WP Editor’ and all I want is to allow this user /user group to view/read the posts/pages within the editor but when they try to make changes and update and/or move posts and pages to the Trash they are prevented from doing so! But at the moment I only seem to be able to allow full read and write access or not be able to view any content.’##’;#’;#’;

    I will have to waste more time later tonight…. reviewing /setting-up the access premissions again.

    Thanks again!
    David
