Where are the WordPress Access Control Settings Stored?
July 05, 2013, 08:39:16 am
I copied my production database to a test site and I noticed that the WordPress Access Control settings aren't moved with the database.  When I clone my production website the settings are moved.

Thus I conclude that the WordPress Access Control settings aren't store in the database; they are stored in some file instead.  Which file is it?

WordPress Access Control settings for CiviCRM are not stored in CiviCRM database. They are stored as capabilities in some wordpress table [didnt figure out which table it is :)]. CiviCRM uses wordpress functions (add_cap , remove_cap) to add/remove capabilities/permissions.

By default, wordpress doesnt come with any functionality for you to manage the capabilities/permissions. You may need some additional plugin (like http://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/) to manage the capabilities/permissions for the Wordpress roles.

Hope this helps.
