Control View Permissions for WordPress Content

The PublishPress Permissions plugin allows you to customize viewing access for WordPress content.

Open any post and you’ll see a metabox under the content. This box will have with the label, “Permissions: View this Post”. You can choose permissions for each role. You can also set permissions for all users who are guests (“Anonymous”), and those who are logged-in (“Authenticated”).
