map_meta_cap( string $cap, int $user_id )
Map meta capabilities to primitive capabilities.
Description
This does not actually compare whether the user ID has the actual capability, just what the capability or capabilities are. Meta capability list value can be ‘delete_user’, ‘edit_user’, ‘remove_user’, ‘promote_user’, ‘delete_post’, ‘delete_page’, ‘edit_post’, ‘edit_page’, ‘read_post’, or ‘read_page’.
Parameters
- $cap
-
(Required) Capability name.
- $user_id
-
(Required) User ID.
- $object_id
-
(Optional) ID of the specific object to check against if
$cap
is a "meta" cap. "Meta" capabilities, e.g. 'edit_post', 'edit_user', etc., are capabilities used by map_meta_cap() to map to other "primitive" capabilities, e.g. 'edit_posts', 'edit_others_posts', etc. The parameter is accessed via func_get_args().
Return
(array) Actual capabilities for meta capability.
