Kakapo Roles

Capability matrix

Every tick is one capability.

The matrix lays out every capability of a role side by side — those from WordPress and those that plugins and themes bring along. Setting them goes through WP_Role::add_cap() and remove_cap(), so straight into wp_user_roles. What stands here applies at once and everywhere, including to code that knows nothing about this plugin.

FAQ about the capability matrix

What does “sensitive” mean?
Some capabilities open more than their name suggests. edit_plugins, for instance, is access to the server, not to the editorial desk — whoever holds it can write code into the site.
Does this work outside Kakapo too?
Yes. The writing goes into WordPress’s own capability store. Every other plugin that asks current_user_can() gets the same answer.
Why don’t I see the deprecated capabilities?
Because they are hidden by default. Capabilities such as “level_10” date back to WordPress 2.0 and cause more confusion than use today — you can still show them.
