 * QUESTION 1: We are building a crowd-facing system where each registered user 
   needs to be able to assign admins and editors for only THEIR submitted posts (
   not all posts on the site).
 * Examples:
    MyGroupX.editors= ed, mike, sally, pete MyGroupX.admins= ed, sally
   MyGroupZ.editors= pete
 * All users would belong to “general (site-wide) groups” for site-wide capabilities,
   but
    each would have at least one of these privately configurable groups for 
   assigning roles with respect to ONLY THE DATA which that group controls.
 * We have programmers and can do custom coding. The question is, do you think such
   a solution is possible with Restrict-User-Access (RUA) at all, and if so, what
   specific features should be be examining first?
 * QUESTION 2: the approach above is already a compromise based on what we currently
   feel any plugin is likely to achieve with wordpress. But ideally, we wanted a
   user to allow specific users to assign specific roles for SPECIFIC posts (whether
   part of a group or not). Back in the day, I believe this was called an ACL (accesss
   control list).
 * For example:
    Post1.editors= ed, mike, sally, pete, (and/or groupX? Post1.admins
   = ed, sally
 * If this is possible, please disregard question 1 and jump right to this one (
   2).
 * We are really desperate for a solution here. Thanks in advance.

 * Apologies for the delayed response here.
 * Unfortunately it is not currently possible to restrict specific posts/pages to
   only be edited/administrated by certain users. All access conditions are for 
   the frontend only.
 * You might want to look at this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-permit-core/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-permit-core/)
 * I hope this helps!
