Allow users to post only to a certain section

How can I specify that a certain user can only post within a certain section? Is there a plugin I can use, or is there a way to do it in TXP itself?

I’m sure the legendary TXP community can help me!

Thanks in advance, Sam.

Re: Allow users to post only to a certain section

You’re in need of sed_section_fields.
When you test it, don’t forget to log in with the user level your users will have later, as “Editor” you see every section.

Sam

sed_section_fields might work for you if you have a very simple publisher / non-publisher split between your admin users and the sections they can post to. However, anything more complex — like Editors can post to X, Y and Z but Staff writers to A, B, C (or even control on a per-user basis) for example, then my plugin won’t be able to help.

Re: Allow users to post only to a certain section

It would be like;

Mighty Admin (me) can access all Sections obviously

A different user (some subordinate level) can access Section A but no other sections
A different user (some subordinate level) can access Section B but no other sections
A different user (some subordinate level) can access Section C but no other sections

Unfortunately, sounds a tad different from your first post. sed_sf doesn’t cover this scenario :/
