 * Hi,
 * I would like to check whether this plugin is suitable for my requirements for
   a particular project. I have a client who has a WordPress website, their business
   is office rentals. Their website is currently fairly standard, it’s just information
   pages, news (posts) with a custom post type for Events. They would like to provide
   the ability for tenants to create and manage their own news articles, events 
   and promotions (which would be a new post type). Obviously tenants should only
   have the ability to manage their own content. From the front end, this tenant
   added content will be treated exactly the same as ‘self’ generated news, events
   etc. Is this possible using this plugin? If not, does anyone have any recommendations?
 * Kind regards
    Kevin

 * Hi,
 * Yes, it should be possible.
 * If custom post type uses the same capabilities set as built-in ‘post’ does, it
   is enough to give users the ‘Author’ role. With this role user will work with
   his own content only.
 * If custom post type uses its own user capabilities set, e.g. edit_events, you
   need to add those capabilities to the user’s role, similar to the ‘Author’ role
   has. If custom post type capabilities are not created automatically, it is possible
   to create them manually. Use this post as a guide:
