## Description

This plugin will allow you, by default, to add restrictions to `core/group` and `
core/row` blocks in the block and full-site editors.

Restrictions involve enabling it for that block, then setting the access level used
by RC/RCP, and then determine whether the user must have at least that access level,
or not have that access level in the block editor.

For details about how Access Levels work, here is a resource from the creators: 
https://help.solidwp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049322274-How-do-access-levels-work

This plugin relies on either [Restrict Content](https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-content/)
available on the WordPress.org Plugins Repository, or the premium version of [Restrict Content Pro](https://restrictcontentpro.com/).

**Note:** If you are using Restrict Content Pro, and facing an issue where this 
plugin’s dependencies do not seem to be met, make sure you are using RCP ≥ 4.5.46,
which supports plugin dependencies for the free version as well through the `wp_plugin_dependencies_slug`
filter.

If you need to use this with an older version, you can apply this filter manually:

    ```
    /**
     * Filter so that plugins listing the free version as a dependency would also be satisfied by the Pro version.
     *
     * @param string $slug The plugin slug being checked.
     */
    add_filter( 'wp_plugin_dependencies_slug', function( $s ) {
        if ( 'restrict-content' === $s ) {
            $s = 'restrict-content-pro';
        }
        return $s;
    });
    ```

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * By default, Group and Row blocks will have this additional panel, to add restrictions.
 * [[
 * When enabled, it will expose the interface to specify the [access level](https://help.solidwp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049322274-How-do-access-levels-work),
   and whether you would like it to restrict to users at that level and above, or
   those that do not meet the requirement.
 * [[
 * Once you specify the level, the text will update to clarify which level it is
   restricting based on.
