A simple way to control who can edit WordPress posts or pages.

Adds an Edit Permissions metabox to the post edit page, where you can select which users can edit the post.

Only applies to users of role *editor*.

## Custom Post Types

You can apply ACL rules to custom post types too. Just define your custom post type in wp-config.php like this:

```php
define( 'ACL_POST_TYPES', serialize( [ 'post', 'page', 'my-cpt' ] ) );
```
