   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.

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-access-manager/

   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
