With the "User Access Manager"-plugin you can manage the access to your posts, pages and files.

== Description ==

With the "User Access Manager"-plugin you can manage the access to your posts, pages and files. You only create a user group, put registered users to this and set up the rights for this group. From now on the post/page is only accessible and writable for the specified group. This plugin is useful if you need a member area or a private section at your blog or you want that other people can write at your blog but not everywhere.

<strong>Note</strong>: At this release you can replace one core files, because I need some hooks which are not created by the Wordpress-Team for the better integration. I've send them a diff patch and this will add in Wordpress 2.8, so you can trust this modification (see <a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10292">http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10292</a>). <strong>This core modification is not needed and only optional, but it gives you more comfort.</strong>

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

<strong>How works the User Access Manager?</strong>

All posts/pages which are not in a user access group are accessable to all users. Posts/pages can put to groupes by themselfe, categories or recursive (most by pages).

<strong>How dose "Role affiliation" work?</strong>

This example will give you an overview:

- Posts: Post1, Post2
- Users: User1 (admin), User2 (subscriber), User3 (subscriber)

Groups:

- Group1: Users: User2, User3 | Posts: Post1 | Role affiliation: subscriber
- Group2: Users: User3 | Posts: Post2 | Role affiliation: -

Access:

- Post1: User1 because he is a admin, User2 because he is in the group and a subscriber, User3 he is a subscriber (to this group all subscribers has access!)
- Post2: User1 because he is a admin, User3 because he is in the group (only group members has access because there is no role affiliation!)
