Restrict access to posts, pages, and cpts by user role

== Description ==

This plugin creates an additional post status 'restricted'. This status functions similarly to setting a post, page, or cpt to private. However with this plugin you can specify which roles have access to restricted posts

This is required because natively WordPress follows a publishing/editorial paradigm and therefore the 'read_private_posts' capability is only granted to admins and editors.


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How does this plugin work? =

It creates a custom post status 'restrict' and a custom capability 'read_restricted_posts'.

== Installation ==

1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Navigate to Settings->Restricted Post Status and set the roles that can access restricted posts.
