Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin gives administrators fine-grained control over content visibility in the WordPress admin area. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you can set specific viewing permissions for each user role.

Core Features:

  • Role-Based Permissions: For each user role (like Editor, Author, Contributor), you can decide what content they are allowed to see.
  • Flexible Rules: Choose between two simple but powerful rules for each role:
  • See only their own content: The user will only see the posts, pages, or custom post types they have personally created.
  • See all content: The user will have no content restrictions and can see everything, just like an administrator.
  • Admin Bar Cleanup: The “Edit” link on the admin bar is automatically hidden when a user is viewing a post they don’t have permission to see.
  • Administrator Override: Administrators are never affected by these rules and can always see all content.

This is the perfect tool for multi-author websites, magazines, or any project where you need to ensure users only have access to the content relevant to them.
