NextGEN Gallery Capabilities - A Complete List

NextGEN Gallery Capabilities – A Complete List

As part of the latest project I’ve been involved in I needed to take full control of WordPress users access via the WordPress Roles/Capabilities API. I needed to take full control of which NextGEN gallery backend tasks our client can carry out. This is was in an effort to make the backend easer for less experienced users but also to clean things up a little.

I couldn’t find a complete list of capabilites used in the plugin’s code so I’ve compiled it. This list is complete as of version 1.9.7. Here goes:



	NextGEN Add new gallery
	NextGEN Add/Delete album
	NextGEN Change options
	NextGEN Change style
	NextGEN Edit album
	NextGEN Edit album settings
	NextGEN Edit gallery author
	NextGEN Edit gallery description
	NextGEN Edit gallery options
	NextGEN Edit gallery page id
	NextGEN Edit gallery path
	NextGEN Edit gallery preview pic
	NextGEN Edit gallery title
	NextGEN Gallery overview
	NextGEN Import image folder
	NextGEN Manage gallery
	NextGEN Manage others gallery
	NextGEN Manage tags
	NextGEN Upload a zip
	NextGEN Upload images
	NextGEN Upload in all galleries
	NextGEN Use TinyMCE

Unlike core WordPress code, the plugin uses role values that are in plain English. This list has the exact values used via current_user_can throughout.
