The WordPress User Roles and Capabilities system provides a robust way to control user access to sensitive data on your WordPress site. It’s not only possible to create custom roles and assign capabilities to those roles, but it’s also possible to assign content type capabilities to your custom post types. This adds another layer of control over your site content, especially if you require different levels of access. In this session, we’ll be taking a look at the specific functionality that exists in the register_post_type function that pertains to post type capabilities, learn how this works, and how to best make use of it.
