This box allows you to choose “Enabled” or “Blocked” for any user role, individual user, or user group. You can also set permissions for all users who are guests, and those who are logged in.

Feature 3. Access Permissions for the Media Library

PublishPress Permissions gives you detailed control over access to media on your WordPress site. You decide who gets to edit and view files in your Media Library. For example, you can set up WordPress so that users only have access to files that they uploaded. Or you can add an exception so users can edit other people’s media files if they are attached to a post they can edit.

The Pro version of Permissions allows you to deny any public access to files on your site. Nobody will be able to see your Media Library files unless they have access to a post that includes that file.
