I'm still very confused, found a tutorial by Justin Tadlock, called "Meta capabilities for custom post types" justintadlock.com/archives/2010/07/10/… If I understand that correctly after adding capabilities to a role I would need to map them using map_meta_cap filter. I did follow Justin's tutorial, but after adding the map_meta_cap filter I still can't see anything under "External Roles". I'm very confused, would really appreciate any help! Thanks

@tollmanz I'm adding capabilities in my functions.php file...hm I'm not using any hook, I just have the code of adding caps as it appears above. The edit/read/delete_external_role meta caps are granted, but only these ones, I thought that they would expand to include derived primitive caps, like edit_others_external_roles, but they don't. Do I need to specify every capability separately? Basically, I was trying to grand all the capabilities in a few lines of code. Hope that makes sense.

As far as I can tell, this generally looks good. Where are you running the code to add the capabilities? What hook is being used? It might be useful at different places in your script to do a var_dump of $wp_roles: global $wp_roles; var_dump($wp_roles);. The only thing I can think of here is that perhaps there's an ordering issue at play...like the roles are being granted before the CPT is registered; however, with that said, I'm not sure that that would actually cause a problem. I may take a closer look at this later today.
