# 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/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!
