Maps a capability to the primitive capabilities required of the given user to satisfy the capability being checked.
Description
This function also accepts an ID of an object to map against if the capability is a meta capability. Meta capabilities such as edit_post
and edit_user
are capabilities used by this function to map to primitive capabilities that a user or role requires, such as edit_posts
and edit_others_posts
.
Example usage:
map_meta_cap( 'edit_posts', $user->ID );
map_meta_cap( 'edit_post', $user->ID, $post->ID );
map_meta_cap( 'edit_post_meta', $user->ID, $post->ID, $meta_key );
This function does not check whether the user has the required capabilities, it just returns what the required capabilities are.
Parameters
$cap
stringrequired- Capability being checked.
$user_id
intrequired- User ID.
$args
mixedoptional- Optional further parameters, typically starting with an object ID.
