Users Writing Posts

    I’ve searched the forums and didn’t find anything relating to my question.

    I have my blog set up so that it’s visible to registered users only and I’m using a plugin that allows me to use “post-levels” to make specific entries available only to specific user levels. Now, the problem is that if I allow users to be anything above 0 (which I would want to do for people allowed to view my more private posts), they have the added ability of being able to write posts. Is there a way to disallow posting and editing of posts at user levels above 0? I really don’t want ANY of my users to be able to have that kind of access; I would only be using the user levels to control access to certain posts.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I should add that I’m using 2.0 and really, the user level 0 corresponds to Subscriber. Thanks.

    The new Roles and Capabilites in 2.0 don’t allow Subscribers to write posts.

    You didn’t mention what Plugin you were using to control your users but take a look at Owen’s plugin:

    I know that Subscribers can’t write posts. What I want is for NONE of the levels to write/edit posts other than level 10. Or, alternately, be able to control which levels can write/edit posts. Basically, I like the user levels, but I only want it to effect which posts they can see.

    I can’t recall which plugin I’m using, but it looks like Owen’s will do what I need! Thanks so much!
