Hi @fjr9,
You can assign the “Podcast Editor” or “Podcast Manager” role to an existing user or a new one directly from the user’s edit page.
Here are the key differences between “Podcast Editor” and “Podcast Manager” roles:
Podcast Editor:
What they CAN do:
- ✅ Create, edit, publish, and delete podcast episodes
- ✅ Upload media files
- ✅ Access episode management pages
- ✅ Edit episodes created by other users
What they CANNOT do:
- ❌ Access podcast settings pages
- ❌ Manage podcast series/taxonomies
- ❌ Configure podcast feed settings
- ❌ Access podcast options/settings
Podcast Manager:
- Everything from podcast_editor PLUS:
- manage_podcast – Access to settings pages
- manage_podcast_tax – Manage podcast series/taxonomies
What they CAN do:
- ✅ Everything a podcast_editor can do PLUS:
- ✅ Access Podcast Settings page (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcast&page=podcast_settings)
- ✅ Access Podcast Options page (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcast&page=podcast_options)
- ✅ Manage podcast series (create, edit, delete series)
- ✅ Configure podcast feed settings
- ✅ Access podcast extensions/tabs
Use “Podcast Editor” when:
- You want users to only manage episodes
- You don’t want them changing podcast settings
- You want to maintain control over feed configuration
- For content creators who shouldn’t modify technical settings
Use “Podcast Manager” when:
- You want users to have full podcast management control
- You trust them to configure podcast settings
- For podcast administrators who need complete access
- When you want to delegate podcast administration
Hope this helps,
Serhiy.
