Amazing! Perfectly! Thank you so much!

The plugin works! Just look at the FAQ, everything is written there in clear language! The usernames may match (my case), so insert in functions.php code below to see user IDs: function true_user_id_c

Does not work when Role name and slug are different

It does not work correctly when user role name and role slug are different for example Role name is ‘Member’ and slug is ‘abc_member’.

Works as advertised

It does what I needed – restrict post read access to specific users
