    Hello, with Ultimate Member is it possible to define a role or access rights that allow a user to manage posts in a limited area of the website?

    For example, I have a ‘Campaigns’ page that displays a list of active campaigns. The campaigns page is a page entry, and each campaign is a post. I would like to give one user the ability to add new campaign related posts, but nothing else. In otherwords, they can add new posts that are linked to a ‘campaign’ post category, but they cannot edit any pages or posts outside of. that campaign category.

    Hello @davout

    No, it is not possible to restrict the post creation/edit/delete by the post category. 

    An ability to create/edit/delete posts depends on the user/role capabilities. There is no way to manage capabilities for categories. But you can manage capabilities for post types. If your campaign is a custom post type you can grant a user/role these capabilities:

    • create_{post_type}
    • delete_{post_type}
    • delete_others_{post_type}
    • delete_published_{post_type}
    • edit_{post_type}
    • edit_others_{post_type}
    • edit_published_{post_type}
    • publish_{post_type}

    Use the WP Capabilities tool to manage capabilities for roles created via Ultimate Member. Use the  User Role Editor plugin to manage capabilities for third-party roles.

    Regards
