capability definitions?

    Hello, this is probably a dumb question, so again, I apologize in advance…

    Is there somewhere in the documentation that defines what the capabilities actually mean? For example, I just installed this plugin and it came with something like 66 capabilities already in there…some of them look like “groups” custom/specific capabilities and some look like maybe they were created by/for the plugin (i.e. level_0) and I can’t figure out how to tell what they mean! Obviously some capabilities are, well, obvious (i.e. edit_posts), but what is the difference between “read” and “groups_read_posts”? It would be helpful to have the definitions of all ‘standard’ capabilities to reference to – and it’s probably already out there I’m just not looking in the right place for it ??

    Thank you!

  • Hi cforce1210,

    Most of predefined capabilities in Groups plugin are the capabilities embedded in WP system. If you have a look in this link you can find the usage of read capability and a list of other capabilities available. Others are self-explained by their names, like groups_read_posts.
    Furthermore, you can add your own custom capabilities to restrict access to a page/post.

    Kind regards,
    George
