disable edits by own user

I assume the code has to be somewhere here:

/**
 * Add the taxonomies to the user view/edit screen
 * 
 * @param Object $user	- The user of the view/edit screen
 */
public function user_profile($user) {
	
	// Using output buffering as we need to make sure we have something before outputting the header
	// But we can't rely on the number of taxonomies, as capabilities may vary
	ob_start();
	
	foreach(self::$taxonomies as $key=>$taxonomy):
		// Check the current user can assign terms for this taxonomy
		//if(!current_user_can($taxonomy->cap->assign_terms)) continue;
		// Get all the terms in this taxonomy
		$terms		= get_terms($key, array('hide_empty'=>false));
		$stack 		= wp_list_pluck( wp_get_object_terms( $user->ID, $key ), 'slug' );
		$input_type = ( isset($taxonomy->single_value) && ($taxonomy->single_value == true) ) ? 'radio' : 'checkbox' ;
		?>

			<table class="form-table">
				<tr>
					<th><label for=""><?php _e("Select {$taxonomy->labels->singular_name}")?></label></th>
					<td>
						<?php if(!empty($terms)): ?>

							<?php $this->renderTree( $this->buildTree( $terms ), $stack, $user, $key, $input_type ); ?>

						<?php else:?>
							<?php _e("There are no {$taxonomy->name} available.")?>
						<?php endif?>
					</td>
				</tr>
			</table>

	<?php endforeach; // Taxonomies
	// Output the above if we have anything, with a heading
	$output	= ob_get_clean();
	if(!empty($output)) {
		echo '<h3>', __('Company Details'), '</h3>';
		echo $output;
	}
}

register_taxonomy (wgich you need to register your taxonomy), has a capabiltty parameter. You can use this to customise which role can view or modify the custom user taxonomy you create. This article should point you in the right direction:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/155629/custom-taxonomies-capabilities?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa

I am resolving this for good order as I believe this plugin respects the capabilities parameter used in register_taxonomy.

If this is not the case then either open an new thread or reply to this (I will still monitor this thread)
