Restrict access to Content by User Role
If you use this shortcode the content will only be visible to the Editor. You can replace the editor with any other user role
[sws_shortcode width=”100%” float=”left” class=”sws_blue”] [/sws_shortcode] [sws_divider_padding]
You can also add the capability view_restricted_content to any user role and then the user with the specific user role can view restricted content. It works with the following shortcode
[sws_shortcode width=”100%” float=”left” class=”sws_blue”] [/sws_shortcode] [sws_divider_padding]
And you can use this for showing content on the page for users that are NOT logged in.
[sws_shortcode width=”100%” float=”left” class=”sws_blue”] [/sws_shortcode] [sws_divider_padding]
And you can restrict content to a specific user role by using the following shortcode. The user role can be replaced with any user role in your site.
[sws_shortcode width=”100%” float=”left” class=”sws_blue”] [/sws_shortcode] [sws_divider_padding]

[pur_restricted] If you can see this line of text it is because the user role that you are logged in as has the custom capability view_restricted_content. This is a great feature that allows you to only show content to user roles with this specific custom capability.
