SET custom capability based on the category?

Is there a way to set the custom capability of an entire category, rather than individual pages/posts?

I have 5 CC needs:
– one
– two
– three
– four
– five

All access ONLY their own content and will be individual sign-ups/monthly fees. I know I can assign the “one”, “two”, etc. names to the “Require Custom Capabilities” section of a posting, by typing them in.

I want to:
– Assign a post to a category (“one”, “two”, etc.), and have THAT assign the CC.

Is this possible using PHP conditionals or assignment?

Thanks

This is how I assumed it would be handled, but it isn’t working.

add_action ("template_redirect", "TGW_Access_Conditionals");

function TGW_Access_Conditionals()
    {
        if (is_category("Banjo") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_banjo"))
            {
                header ("Location: ". S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
                exit ();
            }
        if (is_category("Guitar") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_guitar"))
            {
                header ("Location: ". S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
                exit ();
            }
        if (is_category("Mandolin") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_mandolin"))
            {
                header ("Location: ". S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
                exit ();
            }
        if (is_category("Bass") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_bass"))
            {
                header ("Location: ". S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
                exit ();
            }
        if (is_category("Dobro") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_dobro"))
            {
                header ("Location: ". S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
                exit ();
            }
}
