The filtered value.

Examples

/**
 * Filter 'save_ceu_setting_update_permission' to allow specific roles to save settings.
 *
 * By default, only users with the 'manage_options' capability can save CEU settings.
 * This filter allows you to grant permission to other roles or users based on specific conditions.
 *
 * @param string $permission The capability required to save settings. Defaults to 'manage_options'.
 * @return string The capability required to save settings.
 */
add_filter( 'save_ceu_setting_update_permission', function( $permission ) {
    // Get the current user object
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

    // Check if the user has the default 'manage_options' capability
    if ( user_can( $current_user, 'manage_options' ) ) {
        return $permission; // Keep the default permission
    }

    // Example: Allow users with the 'editor' role to save settings as well
    if ( in_array( 'editor', (array) $current_user->roles ) ) {
        return 'edit_posts'; // Grant 'edit_posts' capability which editors have
    }

    // Example: Grant permission based on a specific user meta key (e.g., a custom capability)
    // if ( get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'can_save_ceu_settings', true ) === 'yes' ) {
    //     return 'edit_users'; // Or any other capability you want to grant
    // }

    // If none of the above conditions are met, return the original permission,
    // which will likely cause the current_user_can() check to fail if the user doesn't have 'manage_options'.
    return $permission;
