Syntax

${POLICY_META.<property>}

Definition

The POLICY_META marker references the custom fieldsopen in new window for the policy itself.

FYI!

The AAM access policies are custom post types under the hood and have the same features as a regular post. The only difference is that policies can be managed only by administrators or highly privileged users.

AAM Policy Meta Source

The following policy restricts a user from creating more than the allowed number of published posts.

{
    "Statement": {
        "Effect": "deny",
        "Resource": "PostType:${POLICY_META.postType}:posts",
        "Action": "Create",
        "Condition": {
            "GreaterOrEquals": {
                "${CALLBACK.MyCustomPlugin::getPostCount}": "${POLICY_META.threshold}"
            }
        }
    },
    "Param": [
        {
            "Key": "Author:Content:PostType",
            "Value": "${POLICY_META.postType}"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Author:Content:PublicOnly",
            "Value": "(*bool)${POLICY_META.publicOnly}"
        }
    ]
}

And here is an example of the MyCustomPlugin class that implements the callback function.

<?php

/**
 * Helper class that allows to obtain stats about author's writing
 *
 * @author Vasyl Martyniuk <vasyl@vasyltech.com>
 * @version 0.0.1
 */
class MyCustomPlugin
{

    /**
     * Get the number of user's posts
     *
     * @return int
     *
     * @access public
     * @version 0.0.1
     */
    public static function getPostCount()
    {
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();

        if (!empty($user_id)) {
            $manager   = \AAM::api()->getAccessPolicyManager();

            $type   = $manager->getParam('Author:Content:PostType');
            $public = $manager->getParam('Author:Content:PublicOnly');

            $response = count_user_posts(
                $user_id, ($type ?? 'post'), ($public ?? false)
            );
        } else {
            $response = 0;
        }

        return $response;
    }
