1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
$result = add_role( 'custom_role', __( 'Customizer' ), array( 'read' => true, // true allows this capability 'edit_posts' => true, 'delete_posts' => false, // Use false to explicitly deny ) ); if ( null !== $result ) { echo 'Yay! New role created!'; } else { echo 'Oh... the custom_role role already exists.'; } |
The above example shows the idea of creating new user role in wordpress, in that read, edit_post, delete_post are nothing but the capabilities. In this way, you can add the new user role with different capabilities.
