PublishPress Permissions makes it possible to control who can edit content with a specific taxonomy attached. For example, you can create a tag called “Admin Editing Only” and make sure that only people in the “Administrator” role can edit posts with that tag.

These steps will show you how to control viewing access for a single term.
