Section Editing

Granular control over who can edit what content.

Concepts to understand:

Section Editor – a role in WordPress assigned to a user.

Section Group – a group has both members (Section Editors) and permissions (to what content the members of the group can edit).

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.

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.

How to use:

Create a Section Group – from WP dashboard Section Groups > Add New

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

Review:

From the WP dashboard visit Section Groups > All Groups and open the “Faculty Profiles” section group. Review the Properties, Members, and Permission tabs.

Hands-On:

• Create a new Section Group for editors who will only be editing the “Fields of Study” section of the site.
• Add user “wpcms02” as a member of this group.
• Grant the permissions to edit the “Fields of Study” page and it’s child pages.
