 * Hey, I’m trying to create a custom taxonomy that has custom capabilities, how
   can i do this?
    I’m using the “user role editor” plugin, and I have a cpt that
   a certain custom role can update and create new posts only for that cpt. I want
   to give that role also the capability to tag a custom taxonomy, but i cant give
   the taxonomy a custom capability… what can i do? thanks

 * Hi [@roi-webreach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roi-webreach/)
 * We admit that we don’t have UI in place for capability setting, we don’t have
   a 100% match there.
 * However, we do have filters in place that allow for amending the arguments ultimately
   used for each post type and taxonomy, so that parts we maybe don’t have, can 
   be included with a touch of extra code.
 * See the thread over at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grant-right-to-custom-taxonomie-map_meta_cap/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grant-right-to-custom-taxonomie-map_meta_cap/)
   and most specifically this reply from me at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grant-right-to-custom-taxonomie-map_meta_cap/#post-15316040](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grant-right-to-custom-taxonomie-map_meta_cap/#post-15316040)
 * In that reply I provide a quick example snippet of how to amend taxonomy arguments
   conditionally based on the taxonomy being registered, and how to get custom capabilities
   values set.
 * Worth a quick read and hopefully it’ll be pretty straightforward to amend to 
   your needs and taxonomies.
