Access Manager and Add-ons
Access Manager Plugin
Access Manager enables administrators, companies and organizations to control access to their Knowledge Base(s). Access Manager is one of the best-designed WordPress plugins for controlling access to knowledge base content.
Administrators can restrict access to KB Articles, KB Categories, and KB administrative pages, making them private. They can also decide which categories and articles will be public.
Please note that to handle user login screens and redirect users to your knowledge base after a user logs in, use plugins such as LoginWP.
KB Groups Add-on
Access Manager has Public group and default private group. KB Groups add-on organizes users into groups. You can create multiple KB Groups and assign your users to those groups. Each user within his/her group has a specific KB Role (KB Subscriber, KB Contributor, KB Author, KB Editor, or KB Manager).
WordPress users can be assigned to the KB Managers Group, which grants them the ability to modify KB groups and perform other KB security management tasks
Custom Roles
Custom Roles add-on lets you map custom WP Roles to KB Roles. Used together with KB Groups add-on you can map custom WP Roles to KB Groups and Roles.
