If no restrictions, user sees everything

    I am using 4.27.1 pro with WP 4.5.3

    I have “Activate user access management to editing selected posts, pages, custom post types” Checked.

    I have created a custom taxonomy for pages that I can assign to a user using the “with category/taxonomy ID” meta field in the user account.

    If I assign a taxonomy everything works as expected, the user only sees what they are assigned to. If I do not assign a taxonomy the user gets everything.

    Now I realize this might be how the plugin works, that’s fine. Is there any way to circumvent that behavior so a user with no assigned taxonomy see’s nothing.

    I have tried all of the “What to do” settings and nothing seems to work. As a work around, I’ve created an empty taxonomy, not associated with any page, and assigned those users to it, but this will not fly for my user base.

    Cheers

    Yes, when you do not set any restrictions, user sees all posts. This is default behaviour.

    You may restrict all users if you assign an “empty” category or not existing post ID (9999999999) for the user role. So there will be no need to make it for every user. Just change the role for the group of users.

    In respect to wordpress.org (and to get an answer quicker) I ask you to send questions related to the Pro version to the related forum at https://www.role-editor.com/forums
