Can I restrict posts to their author?

Hi:

Is it possible for me to restrict posts to the person that wrote the post? For certain people I want to make sure that the only posts they can edit are the ones that they added.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, it’s possible, with this workaround currently:
This module allows to limit user with ‘edit_others_posts’ capability to edit just posts from the list of authors – field “with author user ID”. If you input into this field the ID of user himself, he will see in the posts list just his own post.

I think to add direct checkbox ‘Own posts only’ to one of a future versions.

Hi,

Starting from the next version 4.25 special setting ‘Own data only’ will be available as for a user, as for a role. It will be no need in a workaround described above.
Development version 4.25.b7 is available after login from the Download page. It’s under testing currently.

Hello. Is there any plan to add the ‘Own data only’ capability to the role?

Hello. It’s there already:

It’s not a capability. But the checkbox at the “Edit post restrictions” dialog window for the role.
