Can’t see Custom Post Type permissions

Hi @gl03

All capabilities registered in CPT should be visible under All tab when you edit role in Members > Roles. You can also review “Registering Capabilities” and “Registering Cap Groups” sections in our doc: https://members-plugin.com/docs/snippets/ to see how to see custom capabilities in a nicely-formatted way.

I hope that helps.

Thank you for getting back. Unfortunately I don’t see any capabilities associated with my CPT under the ‘All’ tab when editing my custom role.

Please forgive the newbie question, but do I have to manually declare standard capabilities like create, edit, delete when I register my CPT? I was under the impression that such caps are automatically inherited from the Post post type.

My CPT definition looks something like this:

register_post_type('spot',
array(
'labels' => array(
[...]
),
'supports' => array('title', 'thumbnail', 'revisions'),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'show_in_rest' => true,
'rest_base' => 'spots',
'show_in_graphql' => true,
'graphql_single_name' => 'spot',
'graphql_plural_name' => 'spots',
'publicly_queryable' => true, 
)
);
}

Accordingly I would simply expect to find ‘create_spot‘, edit_spot‘, ‘delete_spot‘ and so on to be selectable under my custom role capabilities.

What am I missing? Many thanks!

I am actually having an identical issue. I do not see my custom post type appearing on the left-hand sidebar when editing a role. Additionally, I thought that the CPT inherited from Post by default and would map for me. As an example, I thought that my Careers custom post type would automatically get the edit_careers (from edit_posts) capability and then I could tell the Members plugin to GRANT the edit_careers capability while restricting the role to a editing careers CPT but not regular posts or other CPTs. Am I missing something here?

Thank you!

I solved my issue, so hopefully it helps you out as well. I added the following code to my custom post type’s $args array.

‘capability_type’ => array(‘career’, ‘careers’),

‘map_meta_cap’ => true

This made the CPT appear in the sidebar and the inherited capabilities from the Post post type also appeared (with their proper CPT names). I tested it out and granted/denied permission as needed for the role, and it worked!

I hope that fixes it for you as well!

Thank you Isaac, I found out the same thing and was going to return here and post it.

Would make a nice addition to the docs tbh.

Would you need to add this to a custom taxonomy that’s on a cpt as well? The user role can see/edit the cpt but cannot see the custom taxonomy associated with that cpt.
