Custom Post Type by user

by

As per what I have understood is you have a Custom Post type as event and user role like Secretary.

Now if a Secretary logged in , he can only be able to see his own events added, not the other one.

So if the above is correct so for that, we will use pre_get_posts filter

function wp_list_mine_posts( $wp_query_obj ) {
    // Front end, do nothing
    if( !is_admin() )
        return;

    global $current_user, $pagenow;
    get_currentuserinfo();

    // http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-a.php
    if( !is_a( $current_user, 'WP_User') )
        return;

    // Not the correct screen, bail out
    if( 'edit.php' != $pagenow )
        return;

    // Not the event post type, bail out
    if( 'event' != $wp_query_obj->query['post_type'] )
        return;

    // If the user is not administrator, filter the post listing
    if( ! current_user_can( 'delete_plugins' ) )
        $wp_query_obj->set( 'author', $current_user->ID );
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wp_list_mine_posts' );

So for this, only administrator can see all the events added by all users.
And if Secretary logged in then he can only be able to see his own events added.
