 * Hi, I am running a non-profit members site and I have groups with private content
   and private posts and pages administered by admins who have acceess to ONLY THEIR
   OWN private content.
 * In oder to have private posts and pages I created custom post types assigned 
   to the different admin roles. Works fine.
 * With these custom post types I need the “restrict-content” metabox which is swichted
   on by granting the capability “restrict content” to an admin.
 * However, when I grant the “restrict content” capability to one admin he/she has
   access to all other private post types. Not editing, but reading.
 * I checked “Denied capabilities should always overrule granted capabilities.” 
   and I denied read/edit/delete the others custom post types. But to no avail.Every
   admin can read every other admins pages and posts.
 * How can that be?
 * It looks like: a role that has the capability to “restrict content” for it’s 
   own custom post type can not be restricted to an others custom post type.
 * Thnx
    Calli

 * Hi Calli,
 * ​I apologize for the delay in response.
 * Unfortunately, what you’d need is not provided by our plugin and requires custom
   development. Sorry about that.
 * Best
