Group Editing

    Hi WordPresslandia,

    I’ve been scouring the plugins site and this forum looking for an access control/permissions plugin to fit my needs but I can’t find it. Maybe you can!

    Basic premise/tl;dr: groups with users and post editing restricted by group.

    Requirements passed on to me:

    1. About 15 non-profit orgs will use this (private) site
    2. An org can have any number users/authors
    3. All users of an org should be able to create and edit posts** but only edit posts from other members of that org. Sally and Jim from Organization Y can edit each others posts but not Mandy from Organization M’s posts. Similar to a contributor (they can edit their own posts) but across the group.
    4. On the front end, everyone can see everyone’s posts. This is mostly about editing authority.

    Maybe this is easy and I’m just missing something. Maybe that’s just me being hopeful! Ideas and hacks very welcome. As of now my plan is to have users from each org simply share a log in but that’s surely a path to pain and suffering! Help?!

    **Will actually be custom post types

    Full Disclosure: I initially posted this into the plugins forum. It sat there for a week. Then I realized that’s not exactly a sub forum for browsing but a repo for plugin specific issue. Sorry for the double post anyway!

    Yep, true and thank you – I’ll delete that one.

    Thank a lot @wpyogi for the idea and for cleaning up my other post (which, btw, became the #1 google hit for “wordpress group editing” while it sat there)!

    Anyway, yes I have tried Press Permit as well as Groups and BU Section Editing. While all very comprehensive they all seem to lack the ability to scope permissions based on group/post ownership (or I didn’t see/understand it).

    Any other ideas?

    Were my WordPress Fu stronger I might try to create it myself along with an existing simple groups plugin. Get current user’s group, build a hash of other users in that group, in the admin ‘see all posts’: foreach post {if the author is in the hash, show it}. Disable [edit] links on the client side (or do the same check) and I think I’d have a not-at-all-secure-but-secure-enough-for-this-purpose solution. Alas, my WP Fu is weak and my time/budget small!
