    I have followed your lessons and created a business opening hours form.
    I have built a block using Metabox.
    I will have multiple businesses and users entering data for their businesses.
    My plan ahead is to make a template for the custom post type and use the block to dynamically add data from each user to their own "business"
    Each user will share the same role, and I need to make it so that each user can only see and edit their own data.

    Can you help with some pointers for the way ahead please?

    Hello Mark,

    MB Blocks does not work with MB Frontend Submission in the frontend. In the backend (admin area), Meta Box does not support editing the user role to restrict the user to see only their own post. It is beyond the scope support of Meta Box.

    My apologies, my question was unclear, and I have a typo as well.
    I was trying to explain my my way ahead when talking about roles etc, that these are things still to do, not with metabox though.

    When I wrote
    "I have built a block using Metabox."
    I should have said
    "I have built a block using Metabox to put the form into a post instead of using a shortcode"

    When I wrote
    "My plan ahead is to make a template for the custom post type and use the block to dynamically add data from each user to their own "business""

    I meant to say "a block"

    Having looked about, I think I will have to use a third party solution such as Stackable Blocks for that.
