These are actually two questions. The second question – how to add categories to attachments – is already answered. How to restrict uploading attachment to a specific role?

According to register_post_type() documentation capability_type argument is used to construct capabilities. I think since you are customizing it for the post type, its capabilities requirements won’t be formed like read_post but like read_an_group.
You should use WP_User class (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User) It has methods: set_role, add_role, remove_role. Example: $uid = wp_insert_user($userdata); $u = new WP_User( $uid ); add_role( $role, $display_name, $capabilities ); // I assume $role, $display_name, $caps are already set before $u->set_role( $role );
‘capability_type’ is an argument that must be a valid post type. So, or you use one of default post types (post, page) or once you have defined your own capabilities array you have to use your own post type.

The capability is delete_post, you can see it in source here.
If you want to specifically deny a capability from a user (not a role), you need to use the add_cap() method and specify that the $grant parameter is false. $user = new WP_User( ‘Y’ ); $user->add_cap( ‘edit_plugins’, false );
This line in your wpo_add_caps() function is incorrect: $admin->add_cap( ‘administrator’, $admin_cap ); It should simply read: $admin->add_cap( $admin_cap ); Source: WP_Role::add_cap().

I solved it myself 🙂 I just added custom capability to the user- $user = new WP_User(1); //1 is the admin ID $user->add_cap( ‘see_encrypted_pass’ ); Then checked- if(current_user_can(‘see_encrypted_pass’)){ //encrypted password } It works!!
