Hello!
I was wondering if it was possible to do two things:
- Allow an editor to have access to the widgets admin panel
- Restrict an editor to a specific sidebar (I have different sidebars for different categories & pages)
Thanks in advance!
Eugene

Alright I figured out how to do the first one using the Adminimize.
Does anyone know how I can do the 2nd one? Restrict a user (or Role Scoper group) to a particular sidebar?
Is there a conditional tag for user groups? Thanks!

If your sidebars are named to correspond to a page / post name, I have some code that will do that. Please explain the correlation and naming of the sidebars; I will followup early next week.
Thanks everyone for your patience as I've been working day and night to help a client meet a tight deadline.

Thank you for getting back to me Kevin!
The sidebars on my site are actually what's commonly referred to as Widget Areas.
Currently my site is set up like this:
- Root
- Homepage (page, admin access only)
- About (page, admin access only)
- Class1 (category, teacher1 access)
- Sub-blog (category, teacher1 access)
- Class2 (category, teacher2 access)
- Sub-blog (category, teacher1 access)
- Classrooms (page, admin access only)
- Class1page (page, teacher1 access)
- Sub-page (page, teacher1 access)
- Class2page (page, teacher2 access)
- Sub-page (page, teacher1 access)
Etc.
The reason that it's set up that way is because I couldnt find a way to put a page under a category, so that http://www.site.com/class1 would go to the category class1 category, and the http://www.site.com/class1/class1page would go to the page. If you know of a better way to set this up, let me know.
Anyway, right now, I have two groups set up in Role Scoper, Class1Teachers and Class2Teachers. Class1Teachers can only post under the Class1 post category, and create child pages under the Class1page.
Each class page & category post listing has two widget areas - one sidebar, and one announcement area. These are defined in the functions.php in my custom theme, so I can name them whatever I want. See this screenshot ("alef" is class1 and "hay" is class2).
The simplest way that I see to do this is to be able to assign a widget area to a Role Scoper group, and restrict the other widget areas from view and editing.
Does this help? Let me know and I can clarify.

Thanks!

I don't want to bump my own post, but I didn't hear back from you Kevin and I was wondering if you can still help me with this.
Thanks again for everything,
Eugene

No, you didn't confuse me and yes, I do still plan on helping you.
I'm expecting to find some time later this week after completing a custom-hire project tomorrow.

Hi Kevin,
I was wondering if you ever got around to figuring this out. I'm still looking for a solution.
Thank you,

I just emailed you the code that I have. Not sure how it will apply to your configuration and I'm not ready to support it as a public plugin but the code is fairly brief and straightforward; free to use or modify as needed.
