  2. You can limit a user to only edit their own posts using this bit of code.

    function my_authored_content($query) {

//get current user info to see if they are allowed to access ANY posts and pages
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
// set current user to $is_user
$is_user = $current_user->user_login;

//if is admin or 'is_user' does not equal #username
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')){
    //if in the admin panel
    if($query->is_admin) {

        global $user_ID;
        $query->set('author',  $user_ID);

    }
    return $query;
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'my_authored_content');

function remove_menu_items() {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
    //hides comments menu
    remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );
    // hides posts menu
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php' );
    hides pages menu
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=page' );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menu_items' );

    Hope this helps you 🙂
