Granular control over who can edit what content.<\/p>\n

Concepts to understand:<\/h3>\n

Section Editor<\/strong> – a role in WordPress assigned to a user.<\/p>\n

Section Group<\/strong> – a group has both members (Section Editors) and permissions (to what content the members of the group can edit).<\/p>\n

This plugin is designed for site administrators who manage sites with large teams and\/or multiple content editors, perhaps spread across different departments or offices.<\/p>\n

If you are the sole content maintainer for your site, or you manage a small team of editors who all have the authority to make content changes, you may not benefit from the extra workflow introduced by this plugin.<\/em><\/p>\n

How to use:<\/h3>\n

Create a Section Group – from WP dashboard Section Groups > Add New<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Under Properties tab, give your group a name and description<\/li>\n
  • Under the Members tab, add your Section Editors (note: a user must be first\u00a0assigned the Section Editor role before they can be added to a group).<\/li>\n
  • Under the Permissions tab, indicate what content is editable by members of this group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Review:<\/h3>\n

    From the WP dashboard visit Section Groups >\u00a0All Groups<\/strong> and open the “Faculty Profiles” section group. Review the Properties, Members, and Permission tabs.<\/p>\n

    Hands-On:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Create a new Section Group for editors who will only be editing the “Fields of Study” section of the site.<\/li>\n
    • Add user “wpcms02” as a member of this group.<\/li>\n
    • Grant the permissions to edit the “Fields of Study” page and it’s child pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
