# Multisite approve posts

 * Hi,
    I have multisite where the sub site admins do custom posts. I will like 
   the Super Admin to receive alerts that there is a post to review and pre-approve
   the post before publishing on the sub site blog. I’m avoiding changing the sub
   site admin role to contributor because it is a membership site and the role is
   tied to many other functions. Is there a plugin to receive subsite post alerts
   and/or approve them?
 * Thx

 * No, because MultiSite is meant to run a version of WordPress.com and all the 
   sites are _intended_ to be separate. SuperAdmin does not mean Super Overseer.
 * In that scenario, I wouldn’t bother using MultiSite, just CPTs and a single site,
   so it would be easier to manage. If the admins can’t publish their own posts,
   why do they need a whole site?

 * They are membership sites where each admin can post products for sale (custom
   posts/ taxonomies). Each person has separate billing info and needs to keep his
   store separate from other stores, hence multisite.
 * Any work arounds to review posts of sub admins?

 * That which you are avoiding is the workaround.
 * You need to make a sub-site admin that can’t publish posts. And boy is that going
   to cause issues.
