The plugin does not work properly, it’s only possible to add the limitations to 
create a new post, however the user can still edit any post.

Faz exatamente o que promete: restringe as categorias em que um autor pode postar.
Particularmente, estava procurando um plugin que limitasse as categorias que um 
editor pode editar. Ao usar o plugin com um usuário editor, ele tem as categorias
em que pode escrever restringidas, mas continua podendo editar qualquer post do 
site, tanto pelo frontend quanto pelo backend. Para mim não serviu, mas não deixa
de ser um ótimo plugin.

### 󠀁[A good Plugin for any site with more than one author](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-good-plugin-for-any-site-with-more-than-one-author/)󠁿

This plugin is very good and does what it says. You can easily restrict authors 
to a single category or more. The author can view all posts in all categories but
can not edit them except within the categories he has access to.
