Adding Custom Capabilities manually perMember

I watched the video on custom capabilities and how to set them up on your site. It looks like this is a much better solution for our organization. Basically, we have a membership base. When that membership base is paid, they can then take classes. After they complete classes, they get the ability to reserve equipment.

Our members can take any class in any order.

With custom capabilities, it seems like I can have everyone on one paid level. Then what I want to do is manually add their custom capability per member. Is this possible with s2member?

Scenarios:
Member A completes Class 1. I add to their membership this custom capability to see a certain page that has reservation software on it. But Member A could complete Class 3 next. Once they complete Class 3, they get those capabilities that go with Class 3. Now Member A has capabilities for Class 1 and 3.

Member B may start with Class 2 first, then go to Class 1. So adding capabilities to each member is individualistic. Each member completes a different path, in a different time frame.

Further more, if they allow their membership to expire, when they pay again in what could be 6 months or a year, they still hold onto those custom capabilities. I don’t have to re-add their capability.

But using the php coding from the video, I can make sure that my theme is always checking for if they have a membership AND a custom capability.

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

Example of adding/removing Custom Capabilities on a per-User basis in WordPress®.

<?php
	$user = wp_get_current_user();
	$user->add_cap('access_s2member_ccap_music');
	$user->remove_cap('access_s2member_ccap_music');
?>
