 * I created 3 taxonomies on my site:
 * -Location.
    -Subject. -Timeframe.
 * How can i deactivate the options
 * +Add new Timeframe, +add new subject, and +add new timeframe for the users? I
   just want them to select from an already created list of locations, subjects 
   and timeframes, i don’t want them to create new ones.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frestrict-taxonomy-creation%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * You would need to tap in to customizing the capabilities for this, which is an
   area we do not have full proper coverage over. Something like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/)
   may help out on that topic at the moment, for a UI-based possible solution.
