Hides posts by other authors in the admin area, manageable with a "view_others_posts" permission

Description

This plugin creates a new permission, "view_others_posts". When viewing the posts lists in the admin area, users without the "view_other_posts" permission will only see there own posts, not the posts of other users. Additionally the counts at the top of the post list (All, Published, Drafts, Trash, etc.) will only count posts which belong to the current author.

Installation

1. Extract wp-admin-hide-others-posts.zip
2. Upload `wp-admin-hide-others-posts/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
