 * Hi, I am using the plugin and have a question. When you setup the group capabilities,
   is that for every user in that group? I have a custom post type created and have
   given access to the group to edit/view/delete private posts. But if user_1 from
   group_1 creates a post user_2 from group_1 can’t edit it. If I allow edit_other_posts
   then user_2 can edit posts from users from group_2. How do I give access to edit
   posts for all users in group_1 to a post that was created by a user from group_1,
   but not editing posts from users from group_2?

 * Hi,
    It’s not possible with WordPress standard permissions model. User can edit
   just his own posts or all posts with ‘edit_others_posts’ capability added. More
   granular access restriction require additional coding.
 * User Role Editor Pro includes ‘[Edit posts/pages/custom posts types restrictions](https://www.role-editor.com/allow-user-edit-selected-posts/)”
   add-on. If you are interested pay attention on a complex example at the very 
   end of the article.
