    Hello,
    is it possible to have a role where is it possible to edit others post (NOT published) but it is not possible to edit others comments?

    Scenario: I have a role where everyone can edit (for review) all articles. But i don’t want that everyone can edit or delete all comments.

    Thanks.

    Hi @skariko

    Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.

    We’ve just published a blog post on this topic. Does this help?

    @skariko I think this can be done. There’s a feature in the Pro version of Capabilities that allows you to block admin menus.

    You can give users access to edit other people’s posts, and then you can block their access to the “Comments” menu.

    Thanks, looks interesting.
    Just two questions:

    – It really block the comment menu page or just hide it? If the user go to /edit-comments.php will see the page?

    – How it works with the comment in the post? Now I see the “modify” link alongside the comment. Would it disappear with that option?

    Hi @skariko

    – Yes, they will see a “Page Not Found” link

    – No, they shouldn’t by default. Once or twice I’ve seen a theme mess with this, but we can help fix it if that happens.
