    Hi there,
    This looks like a great plugin!

    My problem is I need to get a new vc/vc’s to post blog articles on a site, but I don’t know them so I am worried about security.

    Could they have the right to:

    • -create a new posts only ( not delete anything or edit any approved posts)
    • – write the new post, and titles
    • – Upload images only (ie only upload images to the media folder, not delete images or upload anything malicious or do anything damaging to the site)
    • – complete the tags for the image they upload,like title, alt tag and description
    • – Could I have the choice of either the post is then left in draft for my review, or published by the VC if I give them that privilige?

      • Thanks

    You can select from WordPress built-in roles, what level of privileges to grant to your users:
    – Contributor role allows to user just add a new post and send it for review. Such post is not visible to public until editor or administrator will not approve it. But contributors can not upload images. Contributor can not edit/delete published posts.
    – Author role allows to create/publish, edit/delete own posts and upload media files to the Media Library.

    It’s possbile to manage what file types are allowed for upload to current user using custom PHP code:
