## Descripción

Editor Remit gives administrators fine-grained control over which categories editors
and authors can work in. Assign permitted categories to a user and they will only
see and edit content within those categories — nothing else.

**Who is it for?**

Organisations and agencies managing WordPress sites with multiple contributors across
distinct content areas. Common examples:

 * A university with departments each managing their own news and pages
 * A company where different teams own different sections of the site
 * An agency managing a client site with multiple editors who should not have access
   to each other’s content

**How it works**

Once a user has permitted categories assigned, Remit:

 * Filters the post and page list screens to show only content in their permitted
   categories
 * Restricts the category selector in the block editor to their permitted categories
   only
 * Blocks any attempt to save content outside their permitted categories — enforced
   server-side, not just in the UI
 * Allows access to uncategorised content (posts or pages with no categories assigned)
   so nothing is inadvertently locked away

Restrictions apply to users with the **Editor** or **Author** role only. Administrators
are always unrestricted.

If a user has no categories assigned, no restriction is applied — they behave as
normal.

**Page support**

By default WordPress does not enable categories for pages. Editor Remit includes
an optional setting to add category support to pages and apply the same restrictions
there too. Enable it under **Settings > Editor Remit**.

**Block editor (Gutenberg) support**

Remit works fully with the block editor. The category panel is filtered in real 
time to show only permitted categories. Saves are validated server-side via the 
REST API.

**Lean and focused**

Remit does one thing well. It does not touch custom post types, custom taxonomies,
tags, or any other content type. There are no complex role matrices, capability 
editors, or access control lists to configure.

**Current limitations**

Remit restricts posts and optionally pages only. Custom post types, custom taxonomies,
and multisite installations are not currently supported.

## FAQ

### Does this affect administrators?

No. Administrators are always unrestricted regardless of any category assignments.

### What happens if a user has no categories assigned?

No restriction is applied. The user behaves exactly as they would without the plugin
active.

### Can restricted users see uncategorised posts and pages?

Yes. Content with no category assigned (or only the default Uncategorised category)
is always visible to restricted users. However, they must assign at least one of
their permitted categories before saving.

### Does it work with the block editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. The category panel is filtered in real time and saves are validated server-
side via the REST API.

### Does it work with the classic editor?

Yes.

### Can I restrict pages as well as posts?

Yes. Enable **Settings > Editor Remit > Enable categories for pages**. This adds
category support to pages and applies the same restrictions there.

### Does it support custom post types?

Not in the current version. Remit restricts posts and optionally pages only.

### Does it support tags or custom taxonomies?

No. Remit works with the built-in category taxonomy only.

### Will it work on a multisite installation?

Remit has not been tested on multisite and does not officially support it in this
version.

### Where do I assign categories to a user?

Two ways: go to **Users > Editor Remit** for a summary of all editors and authors
with inline editing, or go to an individual user’s profile page and scroll to the**
Editor Remit** section.

### Restrictions are not applying to a user — what should I check?

Confirm the user has the **Editor** or **Author** role. Contributors, subscribers,
and administrators are never restricted. Also confirm at least one category is assigned
to the user — a user with no categories assigned is unrestricted by design.

### A restricted user can see posts they should not be able to see

Check that those posts have a category assigned. Uncategorised content (posts with
no category, or only the default Uncategorised category) is intentionally visible
to all restricted users.

### Saving a post is blocked unexpectedly

A permitted category must be assigned before publishing. Saving as a draft does 
not require a category. If only the default Uncategorised category is selected, 
publishing will be blocked — assign one of the user’s permitted categories first.

### Page restrictions are not working

Go to **Settings > Editor Remit** and confirm **Enable categories for pages** is
checked.
