Feature Request: Add Live Search of Capabilities

Open ryanjbonnell opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

The new features in Members 2.x are great!

One idea I've been wondering about is the ability to search and filter through the list of capabilities.

Naturally this adds a fair bit of complexity, but imagine a scenario where you want to view or edit a permission that you explicitly know (e.g. manage_options) but don't know what category it falls under or want to resort to seeing "All" at once and using the browser's built-in page search function.

Adding a live (or not) search filter would allow for showing just the matching capabilities and would greatly improve and speed up the process of managing capabilities for a Role:

Is this type of feature request something that could be added in a future version?

When I started using Members I thought the same thing. Specially sites with custom capabilities such as mine, it can add a lot and it is hard to find out which is where.

I presume a little bit of refactoring would be necessary, so that a search of a capability would be shown first together with the "category" in the sidebar. So that the user can see from which category the cap belongs to.

But a nice feature indeed.
