User capabilities for categories

[Paul]

Hello,

I’m developing a site where multiple users with the Author capability can post events and assign them to categories. I want to limit their capability to edit the category tree, so that only admins can create, delete or modify categories. I can see custom capabilities with “_tribe_” for editing events, organizers and venues, but not for categories.

As a feature request, could I ask for custom capabilities for modification of event categories?

If there’s code I could put in functions.php for now, what would it be?

I can put that forward as a feature request for sure.

Right now the capabilities needed for a user to work with event categories are publish_tribe_events and edit_tribe_events – if you want to do something differently here I think you’ll be able to call register_taxonomy() a second time and overwrite the capabilities setting to whatever you want.

You would of course need to do this after the taxonomy is initially registered.

Thank you, Barry. Hopefully it will be a feature in the next version. Any idea when the next version comes out?

[Barry]

“Soon” … I’m afraid I can’t be any more specific. It’s current in the beta testing phase and depending on what shakes out of that the official launch could be delayed or brought forward, so we really can’t say right now exactly when that will be.
