different passwords for different content?

    Hello,

    I am building a private extranet for my client (unavailable to general public). It is being prepared from an off-the-shelf template with managed hosting.

    I will be the only backend WP administrator and the only one creating content. Users will simply access the published pages only and have nothing to do with WordPress.

    The extranet will be password-protected and will feature webpages from different content (pages, portfolio types, media etc) based on login type. e.g.
    password type 1 can access pages A, B and C
    password type 2 can only access pages B
    password type 3 can only access pages E and F.

    Although all user types can see the same homepage and are none-the-wiser of any other content available on the site they may not have access to. Their navigation will essentially be custom to their access type.

    Can I use your plugin to achieve this? or could you guide me on what combination of WordPress feature and/or plugin can I use to achieve this?

    So far my search for plugins has led my to plugins for managing WordPress account privileges for publishing, which doesn’t suit my needs. My users don’t even know this is a WordPress site, all they do is access the published pages. They won’t be logging in to the CMS to publish content.

    Thank you,

    John

    Hi John,

    You should be able to do this with our plugin. The only element you’ll need to do some custom work on is the menus.

    For restricting page content, you can create multiple levels and then use the level, minimum_level and maximum_level attributes to allow access for a certain page to only specific levels. For example:

    [restricted level="1"]

    or

    [restricted minimum_level="2" maximum_level="4"]

    For the menus, you’d have to make use of our available public functions to check the level of someone logged in and display different menus in your theme based on that. We have a tutorial video that explains how to do this, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKiJAjq7PhQ&index=9&list=PLEndQUuhlvSolfe-rIpI3eK_TmfeEDPeH
