Is there a reason that you wouldn't make these users editors, rather than authors in that case?
Ah, perhaps I should have thought of this first! I assumed the 'Editor' role was just an elevated version of 'Author' and as such would still enable users to add new content. I will check this out...
Hi @smile , I was just thinking about this again and checked the WP capabilities table which states that Editors do have the 'publish posts' capability.
It seems my above comment was correct in the sense that 'Editor' just has a higher level of access than 'Author', and can still publish posts which doesn't seem to solve the original issue we're facing.
In which case, it would be good to have this as an option within content flow - an 'Authors cannot create new posts/pages' option.

Hi Rob, Gotya, that sounds like something that we would certainly consider. Right now, you could look at using the remove_cap() function to achieve the same thing as a workaround (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_role/remove_cap/)
