zacharyG	What is the best way to restrict user access to the backend by language? As an example, I have an editor user that I want to only be able to access the Spanish site. How can I achieve that?

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hello, Right now, it seems there is no way to restrict the languages per user. Only option similar to this that WPML has is: - Hide languages (WPML > Languages) - restricting translation language for translator (WPML > Translation Management > Translation Roles) But I think that won't work for you, only way I see is custom work or try following our suggestion and using Toolset Access addon, then adjust permission as per your need: - https://wpml.org/tutorials/2016/01/allow-certain-users-edit-specific-languages/ - https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-to-use-access-plugin-to-create-editors-for-specific-language/ I hope I was helpful. Don't hesitate to ask if you find any problems along the way, I'll gladly help you. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei
