User Permissions is a plugin that takes the simple WordPress permissions models one step further and allows you to assign permissions to specific posts that restrict users or roles from reading or editing it.
To summarize:
- Restrict reading or writing of post or page according to the user's role (i.e. prevent non-registered users reading a post)
- Allow specific users to read or write a post or page
- Permissions are assigned directly inside the post itself - there is no additional interface
- Fully localized
This plugin works very well with Red Alt's excellent Role Manager plugin. If you are interested in using permissions then you will probably be interested in that too.
Installation
The plugin is simple to install:
- Download user-permissions.zip
- Unzip
- Upload
user-permissionsdirectory to your/wp-content/pluginsdirectory
You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.
Usage
Using the User Permissions is very simple. When you are editing a post or page a new form will appear to the right of the content:
When a role is enabled, all other roles are restricted. That is, if you give the administrator read and write access to a post then all other roles that are not enabled are restricted. If no roles are restricted then access is determined by the WordPress defaults.
The user section allows you to additionally specify user IDs (comma-separated) that are specifically allowed access. Any user listed here is allowed access, even if they are otherwise denied by their role.
If you restrict read access to a post then it is removed from the home page, search results, and archives, for anyone who does not have permissions. You can additionally define a post ID which will a restricted user will be redirected to should they attempt to view the post.
An administrator cannot be restricted.

Hi there,

hi there!
i was hoping that with the WordPress 2.5.1 update the pülug in would work again, but it doesn't! I still have the problem that i can not set any user permissions when writing pages....

i have the same problem as emma! I can only use "user permission" when writing posts, the "user permission" is not an option when writing pages...

I have the same problem with wordpress 2.5 but only for pages (can't see the permissions menu when I want to write a new page or edit an old one) - for posts I still have the permissions menu. Is there something to do? Thanks!

Hi The Giraffe !
I cannot see anymore the restriction menu with WP2.5, is this a known issue or a bad configuration from my WP ?

(the issue/feature trackers don't seem to be working, I'm getting a 502 Bad Gateway)
Using this plugin, I can nicely restrict posts to different roles/users, but comment feeds (RSS2/Atom) will show all comments to everyone. Is there any way to restrict this to comments that are part of posts one is allowed to read?

I can't reproduce that Jeromy, so you'll need to provide some more details over on the issue tracker

Hey man - thanks for continuing work on this! I'm still having problem - I set permissions and save them for a page, but the permissions don't stick - upon 'save and continue' the page refreshes and all of my checkmarks are gone - on top of that, just activating the plugin disables page editing on all pages for anyone not an admin.
