Custom roles and taxonomies

Hmm, good question.
Right now the check is done on two places, the function that adds a menu item, and inside the function that is run on that admin page.

I could add a filter on that admin page, where you can filter which capability you would expect there. Would that be enough? Then the menu-item is still shown, but you are able to restrict it.

You mean, the user can still see the taxonomy on which he hasn’t have the rights to edit?

Isn’t it possible to check if the user has the rights on a taxonomy before adding the menu item?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, there are now filters in place, in 2.7.6.

Example filters:

// All taxonomies and admin pages. default 'manage_categories'.
function my_customtaxorder_custom_cap( $cap ) {
        $cap = 'edit_posts';
        return $cap;
}
add_filter('customtaxorder_custom_cap','my_customtaxorder_custom_cap');

// Just the Link Category taxonomy
function my_customtaxorder_custom_cap_link_category( $cap ) {
        $cap = 'edit_posts';
        return $cap;
}
add_filter('customtaxorder_custom_cap_link_category','my_customtaxorder_custom_cap_link_category');
