Custom User Roles and Capabilities

  • Hi there
    After a lot of browsing and using plugins, and playing with functions.php I’ve come to the forums for help.

    Can anybody help me with the creation of custom roles, from the $result = add_role( to adding custom capabilities which only affect my custom posts. I’m looking for a tutorial really of the whole thing.

    Plugins haven’t been able to provide the full functionality I’m looking for, and I can’t figure out how to edit them so they can.

    So far I’ve been able to add new roles, but I’ve failed at giving these roles the capabilities they need.

    Thanks for any help ??

  • What exact functionality are you looking for?

    Well I have some custom posts, events and groups, and I’d like each of these to be edited by different types of user.

    I want 5 users in total including the admin, and all of these need access to the admin area of the site, with different levels of restricted access.
    they each need to be able to edit their profile, and eventually, when I create the functionality, be able to view and upload content on a shared area.

    There’s quite a lot to do here, and I’m stumbling at the first hurdle of different roles.

    Thanks
