Thanks for this post, it was exactly what I was looking for. I found a couple of plugins for managing user roles but all of them was for a single blog in a multi site instance.

I used your example to add some user credidentials to the default editor role so I don’t need to assign the blog owner for each blog (in my multi site instance) the administrator role which has too much credidentials in this case.

It might be possible to do something along the lines of:

function page_block { 
 
if($post->ID == '5') {
 
...add/remove cap
 
}
 
}
 
add_action('admin_head', 'page_block');

I haven’t tested it though but let me know if it works.

This is really handy and definitely something I will look at for a project i have on at the minute.

Is it possible to allow users to edit a page, but restrict it to just one page using that particular page’s ID?

Do it!

This would allow them to write and upload files but sort of, uh, submit the article for review, instead of posting it? I guess they wouldn’t have access to any other admin stuff either?

Might have to do this on my Circlebox.
