Hello,
Since 3.1 version, a new feature was released, its called RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), for community-edition there 3 default roles:
- Super-Admin: Super Admins can access and manage all features and settings.
- Editor: Editors can manage and publish content including those of other users.
- Author: Authors can manage and publish only the content they created.
In that case, the author’s role is that you need.
In the Enterprise edition, Roles creation is unlimited . Role Control is also more advanced, with a high level of granularity options, allowing you to configure CRUD operations for any field available in any content type . You can also check all plans where more subscriptions are available.
