View or change the capabilities of any role, add new roles, copy existing roles into new ones, and add new capabilities to existing roles. Now supports capability negation and role networking. = Features: = * Create roles * Manage role capabilities * Supports negation: set any capability to granted, not granted, or blocked * Copy any role all network sites * Mark any role for auto-copy to future network sites * Backup and restore Roles and Capabilities to revert your last changes. * Revert Roles and Capabilities to WordPress defaults. Role management can also be delegated: * Only users with 'manage_capabilities' can manage them. This capability is created at install time and assigned to Administrators. * Administrator role cannot be deleted. * Non-administrators can only manage roles or users with same or lower capabilities. Enhanced and supported by Kevin Behrens since July 2012. The original Capability Manager author, Jordi Canals, has not updated the plugin since early 2010. Since he was unreachable by web or email, I decided to take on the project myself. The main change from the original plugin is an improved UI which organizes capabilities: * by post type * by operation (read/edit/delete) * by origin (WP core or plugin) Capability Manager Enhanced also adds Press Permit plugin integration: * easily specify which post types require type-specific capability definitions * show capabilities which Press Permit adds to the role by supplemental type-specific role assignment = Languages included: = * English * Catalan * Spanish * Belorussian *by Ilyuha* * German *by Carsten Tauber* * Italian *by Gianni Diurno* * Russian *by Marcis Gasuns* * Swedish *by Jens Wedin * POT file for easy translation to other languages included. == Installation == = System Requirements = * **Requires PHP 5.2**. Older versions of PHP are obsolete and expose your site to security risks. * Verify the plugin is compatible with your WordPress Version. If not, plugin will not load. = Installing the plugin = 1. Unzip the plugin archive. 1. Upload the plugin's folder to the WordPress plugins directory. 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 1. Manage the capabilities on the 'Capabilities' page on Users menu. 1. Enjoy your plugin! == Screenshots == 1. Users Menu. 2. View or Modify capabilities for a role. 3. Network: copy role to existing or future sites. 4. Actions on roles. 5. Permissions Menu (Press Permit integration). 6. View or Modify capabilities for a role (with Press Permit Pro). 7. Force type-specific capabilities (Press Permit integration). 8. Backup/Restore tool. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How can I grant capabilities for a custom post type = The custom post type must be defined to impose type-specific capability requirements. This is normally done by setting the "capability type" property equal to the post type name. = I have configured a role to edit a custom post type. Why do the users still see "You are not allowed the edit this post?" when they try to save/submit a new post? = Probably because your custom post type definition not having map_meta_cap set true. If you are calling register_post_type manually, just add this property to the options array. Unfortunately, none of the free CPT plugins deal with this important detail. = Even after I added capabilities, WordPress is not working the way I want = Keep in mind that this plugin's purpose is to conveniently view and modify the capabilities array stored for each WordPress role. It is not responsible for the implementation of those capabilities by the WordPress core or other plugins. = Where can I find more information about this plugin, usage and support ? = * If you need help, ask in the Support forum. If your issue pertains to the enforcement of assigned capabilities, I am not the primary support avenue. In many cases, I will offer a suggestion, but please don't give me negative feedback for not providing free consulting. == License == Copyright 2009, 2010 Jordi Canals Copyright 2013-2018, Kevin Behrens This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation.
