Access Control
Access to posts and pages can be restricted by capability.
Any capability can be used to restrict access, including new capabilities.
If access to a post is restricted, only users who belong to a group with that capability may access the post.
Groups defines the groups_read_post capability by default, which can be used to restrict access to certain posts or pages to groups with that capability only. Any other capability (including new ones) can be used to limit access as well.
