Toolset – Access

Description

The Access addon adds granular permission control to Toolset, creating an Access Control box inside the editor for each page, post, and custom content type to define which roles can read, edit, or publish the material. Designed for those building sites with private areas, members, and anonymous visitors using Toolset custom post types, it includes custom roles, visual capability management, and the display of alternative templates when the user does not have permission.

Key Features of Access

• Access Control box in the editor
  Defines who can read, edit, and publish each page, post, or custom type directly from the editing screen.
• Configurable custom roles
  Creates roles beyond the standard WordPress roles with capabilities tailored to the specific site.
• Access control groups
  Groups content under shared permission rules to apply policies in bulk.
• Alternative templates for denied access
  Displays custom pages or 404 pages for users without reading permission.
• Integration with WPML and WooCommerce
  Manages capabilities on multilingual sites and store administrative roles without conflicts.

Benefits of Access

• Private areas without code
  Configures role-based restricted content through the visual interface, eliminating the need to edit functions.php.
• Organized permissions in the admin area
  Limits what each contributor sees in the dashboard, reducing editing errors and accidental deletion.
• Coverage for Toolset custom types
  Applies access rules to custom post types, taxonomies, and fields created through Toolset Types.
• Secure delegation for clients
  Allows partial access to be granted to clients and editors without exposing sensitive site settings.

Who Is Access Recommended For?

• Those building sites with membership areas, restricted content, and reading levels using Toolset.
• Those creating custom types with Toolset Types who need to control who can edit each one.
• Those using WPML or WooCommerce who want custom roles for contributors, translators, and store managers.

How to Download Access

Access is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and activate it. Once activated, permission controls appear inside the editor for each piece of content and in the Toolset settings area.

Designed for those who need paid areas, members-only content, or a backend shared between editors and clients, Access transforms the WordPress role system into something that can be managed visually across the custom types, taxonomies, and fields created with Toolset. It solves the classic problem of allowing clients to edit only what they should without having to grant them administrator access.
