User Role / Author Cannot edit own content, only view

pcitgis

Good morning Vasyl,
So we purchased the product and implemented it.
Overall it works, however, I have one hang-up.
The user group that we created is only allowed to edit and view only their content.
I was able to setup the list view, however, for some odd reason it won’t allow said user to edit their content.
I went through it a few times and it’s not yielding the results we need.
All seems to be set except for the ability to edit their content.
In this certain case, User can see his/her content… but cannot edit it.

Users under Department Manager Role.

When I click the Health Department, They can see all of their content.
But cannot edit anything with the exception of one item.

I can provide screenshots if needed.

We are using the latest version of your products and we also have the plus extension.

pcitgis WordPress core has multiple capabilities that determine how user can manage content (posts, pages, media or CPTs). That is the first authorization layer. For example edit_posts, edit_pages, edit_published_posts etc. If your custom role does not have proper capabilities assigned, users will not be able to edit content even if they are authors.

The second layer of content authorization is defined per post type. When each post type is registered, even WordPress core post types like post, page or attachment, during registration, declare capabilities that are assigned for specific actions (for more info check get_post_type_capabilities reference).

The final layer of content authorization comes with AAM as it overrides access controls to a content if it was not already blocked by WordPress core with two other layers.

So you have to pay attention to capabilities that user has as well as access settings that are defined to a role on Posts & Terms tab.

If necessary, I can help to prepare the Access Policy that will define all the necessary access controls, just keep me posted.

Regards,
Vasyl
