PublishPress Permissions writes exceptions to wp_ppc_exceptions and wp_ppc_exception_items, with permission group assignments in wp_ppc_groups. Each exception carries a target item (post, term, or post type), an operation flag (read, edit, delete, assign), an agent reference (user or role), an assignment scope (item, children, or descendants), and a created-on timestamp. The default admin lists exceptions in a sortable table grouped by item type, fine for one-off grants and weak when a lead coordinates a quarterly review.

SleekView reads the same Permissions exception rows the plugin admin queries. Pick a derived ppp_state field that buckets exceptions by review workflow, operation flag, and agent reference and every exception becomes a card grouped under Requested, Reviewing, Approved, or Enforced. Card fronts show the target item title, the operation, the agent, and the scope so a lead can prioritize approvals from one board.

Dragging a card writes a review tag into the Permissions exception meta. A move to Enforced commits the exception row. The Permissions enforcement layer continues to honor the live exception, so access rules apply in the same request.

PublishPress Permissions lets editors grant rich content exceptions per post, term, and post type, which is exactly what makes the default exception list hard to use for review. The sortable table is great when an editor knows the exception they need to grant and almost useless when a lead is coordinating a quarterly review across newsroom sections, marketing landing pages, and internal documentation. Most teams end up exporting exceptions to a spreadsheet, tracking requested changes in a separate tab, and applying them to the live site days later.

The spreadsheet drifts immediately. New requests keep landing in Permissions without a workflow tag, the spreadsheet records approvals nobody applies, and by quarter's end the two views disagree on which agents can edit which sections. A kanban view keeps the team aligned.
