Capabilities for the Taxonomies Metabox If you want to control who has access to the Taxonomies metabox underneath each post, you can do with the manage_categories capability. We recommend using the PublishPress Capabilities plugin to assign this permissions. Go to the “Capabilities” screen. Choose the user role you want to edit in the top-left corner. In the “Taxomomies” area, you can see the “manage_categories” option. Capabilities for the Taxonomies Admin Area There are two permissions that can give users access to the Taxonomies admin area: simple_tags: this will give access to the “Settings” screen. admin_simple_tags: this will give access to the screens such as “Taxonomies”, “Related Posts”, “Mass Edit Terms”, “Manage Terms”, and more. You can use these to customize user access to the Taxonomies plugin screens with the PublishPress Capabilities plugin. Go to the “Capabilities” screen. Choose the user role you want to edit in the top-left corner. In the “Taxonomies” area, you can see the two Taxonomies permissions: If you give both these permissions to a user in the Subscriber role, this next screenshot shows what they will see after logging in. These permissions are automatically added to your site by the /inc/class.admin.php file. These permissions are automatically removed when you uninstall the plugin. This is done by the uninstall.php file.
