How to allow WordPress users editing only their own page?

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to allow your users to manage only their own page in three different ways, depending on your specific access strategy.

# WordPress native way

If you want to use the WordPress native method to grant users the ability to manage only their own posts and pages, follow these steps:

• Go to the AAM page and switch to the role that you need to customize using the "Users & Roles" widget.
• Navigate to the "Capabilities" tab and search for the capability by typing "edit_others".
• Uncheck the edit_others_posts and/or edit_others_pages options to prevent users from managing content they are not assigned as an author.
• Ensure that the posts or pages you want to grant editing rights to have the correct "Author" selected.

# Use the "EDIT BY OTHERS" option (Premium)

If you have the premium version and want to utilize the "EDIT BY OTHERS" feature as the default access control for a post type, follow these steps:

• Go to the AAM page and switch to the role that you need to customize using the "Users & Roles" widget.
• Navigate to the "Posts & Terms" tab and identify the post type for which you want to define restrictions (pay attention to the post type "Slug" as custom post types may have similar names).
• Select the "Manage Access" blue gear icon and check the "EDIT BY OTHERS" option on the displayed form.
• Ensure that posts or pages you want to grant editing rights to have the proper "Author" selected.

# Allow editing without changing author attribute (Premium)

If you want to delegate content management to a specific user without altering the "Author" attribute, follow these steps:

• Go to the AAM page and switch to the role that your desired user is assigned to using the "Users & Roles" widget.
• Navigate to the "Posts & Terms" tab and find the post type for which you want to define restrictions (pay attention to the post type "Slug" as custom post types may have similar names).
• Select the "Manage Access" blue gear icon and check the "EDIT" option on the displayed form.
• In the "Users & Roles" widget, go to the "Users" tab and locate your desired user. Select the "Manage User" blue gear icon.
• In the "Posts & Terms" tab, select "Drill-Down" to the post type for which you set the default access.
• Find the specific post you want to delegate access to and select the "Manage Access" blue gear icon.
• On the displayed form, unselect the "EDIT" option to grant access without changing the "Author" attribute.
