Restrict pages based on permissions assigned to pages and granted in user profiles.

== Description ==

This plugin allows you to easily mark certain pages with "Permissions" and only users with those permissions will be allowed to see the contents of the page.

* **Page Permissions:** This plugin adds a new Permissions taxonomy to your pages. Administrators can create/assign new permissions from the Edit Page screen (you can also use the Quick Edit link). You can add/edit/delete permissions from the Permissions sub-menu under the Pages menu. Pages with no assigned permissions can be seen by everyone.

* **User Permissions:** Administrators can add/remove permissions from a user using the checkboxes on the Edit User screen. The All Users page has a column that shows the permissions assigned to each user.

* **Restriction Message:** If a page has permissions assigned, the content will only be visible to users that have one of those same permissions assigned. Otherwise, the content will be replaced by a generic message or a custom message which can be defined in the plugin settings using the standard WordPress editor (including the ability to add media and formatting).

* **Redirect to login:** Instead of a restriction message, you can choose to have users get redirected to the login page.


== Installation ==

1. Upload the contents of `simple-restrict.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I restrict access to a page? =

Go to the Edit Page screen for the page you want to restrict, and find the new "Permissions" section. Create and assign a new permission (e.g. "Gold subscriber") and update your page. Now this page content will only be viewable by users who have this same permission assigned to them.

= How do I allow a user to see a restricted page? =

If a page is restricted, it's content will only be viewable by users who have this same permission assigned to them. To assign a permission to a user, go to the Edit User page and you will see all possible permissions listed. Put a checkmark beside the Permissions you want to assign to this user. Save the changes, and the user will be allowed to see the page.

= If a page has multiple permissions assigned, does a user need to have all those permissions assigned to her/him in order to see the page? =

A user only needs to have one of the page permissions assigned to her/him in order to see that page. For example, if a page is assigned the permission "Gold subscriber" and another permission "Silver subscriber", a user who is assigned the permission "Silver subscriber" will see the page.

= What about pages with no permissions assigned to them? =

They are visible to everyone.

= How can I contribute to the code? =

The plugin is [on GitHub](https://github.com/GitHubGreg/SimpleRestrict), feel free to submit a pull request.

= What languages does this plugin support, and how can I help translate it? =
