All You Need to Know about WordPress Access Management
WordPress was never designed as user multi-level CMS with ability to manage access. It was the core idea that all posts and pages are meant to public. This limitation does not satisfy an average WordPress website owner and a lot of times this is the reason why they choose to go with Drupal, Joomla, Typo3 etc. In this topic I would like to focus on the native WordPress features that are related to the access management and how they work. I will explain the full concept and idea behind users, roles and capabilities. A lot of material is exclusive and you will not be able to find it anywhere online. With this knowledge, the website owner can pick a better strategy on how to manage access to both frontend and backend.
