Examples

<?php

/**
 * Conditionally change the admin capability required for Uncanny Automator admin pages.
 *
 * This example demonstrates how to restrict access to Uncanny Automator's
 * admin pages to users with the 'edit_others_posts' capability, instead of the
 * default 'manage_options'. This might be useful for allowing content editors
 * to manage automations without giving them full administrative control.
 */
add_filter( 'automator_admin_capability', 'my_custom_automator_admin_capability', 10, 1 );

function my_custom_automator_admin_capability( $capability ) {
    // Check if the current user has the 'edit_others_posts' capability.
    // If they do, we'll allow them access to Automator's admin pages.
    // Otherwise, they will be restricted by the default capability.
    if ( current_user_can( 'edit_others_posts' ) ) {
        return 'edit_others_posts';
    }

    // If the user doesn't have the desired capability, return the original capability.
