Custom Capabilities

Oasis Workflow adds a few custom capabilities which will allow the Workflow Administrator to better manage access/use of workflows.

For those who are new to “WordPress Capabilities” here is a short introduction.

Capabilities are your permissions system. Roles are assigned capabilities that define what that role can or can’t do. There are quite a few plugins which let you manage these capabilities via a user interface. We recommend you to look into “Capability Manager Enhanced” – https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/ OR “User Role Editor” plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
