PHPXRef 0.7.1 : WordPress Trunk (Updated Daily) : Detail view of capabilities.php

Functions that are not part of a class:

map_meta_cap( $cap, $user_id, ...$args ) X-Ref

Maps a capability to the primitive capabilities required of the given user to
satisfy the capability being checked.

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.

return: string[] Primitive capabilities required of the user.
param: string $cap     Capability being checked.
param: int    $user_id User ID.
param: mixed  ...$args Optional further parameters, typically starting with an object ID.

current_user_can( $capability, ...$args ) X-Ref

Returns whether the current user has the specified capability.

This function also accepts an ID of an object to check against if the capability is a meta capability. Meta
capabilities such as `edit_post` and `edit_user` are capabilities used by the `map_meta_cap()` function to
map to primitive capabilities that a user or role has, such as `edit_posts` and `edit_others_posts`.

Example usage:

current_user_can( 'edit_posts' );
current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID );
current_user_can( 'edit_post_meta', $post->ID, $meta_key );

While checking against particular roles in place of a capability is supported
in part, this practice is discouraged as it may produce unreliable results.

Note: Will always return true if the current user is a super admin, unless specifically denied.

return: bool Whether the current user has the given capability. If `$capability` is a meta cap and `$object_id` is
param: string $capability Capability name.
param: mixed ...$args Optional further parameters, typically starting with an object ID.

current_user_can_for_blog( $blog_id, $capability, ...$args ) X-Ref

Returns whether the current user has the specified capability for a given site.

This function also accepts an ID of an object to check against if the capability is a meta capability. Meta
capabilities such as `edit_post` and `edit_user` are capabilities used by the `map_meta_cap()` function to
map to primitive capabilities that a user or role has, such as `edit_posts` and `edit_others_posts`.

Example usage:

current_user_can_for_blog( $blog_id, 'edit_posts' );
current_user_can_for_blog( $blog_id, 'edit_post', $post->ID );
current_user_can_for_blog( $blog_id, 'edit_post_meta', $post->ID, $meta_key );

return: bool Whether the user has the given capability.
param: int $blog_id Site ID.
param: string $capability Capability name.
param: mixed ...$args Optional further parameters, typically starting with an object ID.

author_can( $post, $capability, ...$args ) X-Ref

Returns whether the author of the supplied post has the specified capability.

This function also accepts an ID of an object to check against if the capability is a meta capability. Meta
capabilities such as `edit_post` and `edit_user` are capabilities used by the `map_meta_cap()` function to
map to primitive capabilities that a user or role has, such as `edit_posts` and `edit_others_posts`.

Example usage:

author_can( $post, 'edit_posts' );
author_can( $post, 'edit_post', $post->ID );
author_can( $post, 'edit_post_meta', $post->ID, $meta_key );

return: bool Whether the post author has the given capability.
param: int|WP_Post $post       Post ID or post object.
param: string      $capability Capability name.
param: mixed       ...$args    Optional further parameters, typically starting with an object ID.

user_can( $user, $capability, ...$args ) X-Ref

Returns whether a particular user has the specified capability.

This function also accepts an ID of an object to check against if the capability is a meta capability. Meta
capabilities such as `edit_post` and `edit_user` are capabilities used by the `map_meta_cap()` function to
map to primitive capabilities that a user or role has, such as `edit_posts` and `edit_others_posts`.

Example usage:

user_can( $user->ID, 'edit_posts' );
user_can( $user->ID, 'edit_post', $post->ID );
user_can( $user->ID, 'edit_post_meta', $post->ID, $meta_key );

return: bool Whether the user has the given capability.
param: int|WP_User $user       User ID or object.
param: string      $capability Capability name.
param: mixed       ...$args    Optional further parameters, typically starting with an object ID.
