BP_Core_Members_Switching::filter_user_has_cap( bool[] $user_caps, string[] $required_caps, array $args, WP_User $user )

Filters a user’s capabilities so they can be altered at runtime.

Description

This is used to:

Grant the ‘bp_member_switch_to’ capability to the user if they have the ability to edit the user they’re trying to switch to (and that user is not themselves).
Grant the ‘switch_off’ capability to the user if they can edit other users.

Important: This does not get called for Super Admins. See filter_map_meta_cap() below.

Parameters

$user_caps: (Required) Array of key/value pairs where keys represent a capability name and boolean values represent whether the user has that capability.
$required_caps: (Required) Required primitive capabilities for the requested capability.
$args: (Required) Arguments that accompany the requested capability check
$user: (Required) Concerned user object.

Return

(bool[]) Concerned user's capabilities.
