Descripción
BU Section Editing provides advanced permissions for managing the editors on your website team. Create “section editing groups” and granularly control who can edit what content. Assign editors the new Section Editor role, and define what the group can edit with an innovative new interface for specifying any of your content – pages, posts, or any custom post types – right down to the single page or single post level.
The plugin was written by Boston University IS&T staff with design and UX support from the Interactive Design group in Marketing & Communications.
Features
- Group users with similar editing privileges into “Section Groups”
- Each section group can have a unique ACL to determine what content is considered editable for group members
- Supports custom post types
- Integrations with navigation management views provided by the BU Navigation Plugin

- I just activated the plugin and started creating sections groups, but it’s not allowing me to add users. What gives?
-
In order for a user to be added to a section group they must first be assigned a role that is limited to section editing capabilities. The plugin comes with one such role – “Section Editor”. Any user you would like to add to section editing groups must first have their role changed to section editor.
It is also possible to use a role management plugin (such as Members) to create your own “section editing”-ready roles.For more information on creating roles for use with section editing groups, see the Github Wiki page.
