Access Widgets per Role?

[Bernhard Hiegl]

Hi Vladimir,

is there a way, to restrict access to the widget area per role? Even better would be to restrict access to specific widgets (not all) per user role. Could you think of a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance, Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

It is impossible with built-in WordPress capabilities as “Widgets” menu uses the same capability as the upper level menu “Appearance”.
We may block selected menu items for selected role by adding some code. Yes, I plan to add the interface for such functionality.

As about permissions for specific widgets this subject needs additional investigation. I have no ready to use decision for this moment.
