@jmayhak– Based on this codex page, there is an additional filter needed when changing the capability which Piklist does not have. We will add this in a future version.

Since Piklist does everything the WordPress way, you can just use the instructions at the codex. Add this to your plugin file, replacing ‘menu_slug’ with the slug you set when you registered your page with Piklist.

function my_page_capability($capability)
{
  return 'manage_scda';
}
add_filter('option_page_capability_menu_slug', 'my_page_capability');

Let us know if that worked.

I just tested this.. and the hook name {option_page} is misleading. Don’t use the menu slug, as that doesn’t work. Use the setting. The following works:

add_filter('piklist_post_types', 'add_program_post_type');
function add_program_post_type( $post_types ) {
  $post_types[PROGRAM_TYPE] = array(
    'labels'          => piklist('post_type_labels', 'Program'),
    'title'           => __('Title'),
    'supports'        => array( 'title' ),
    'public'          => true,
    'has_archive'     => true,
    'rewrite'         => array( 'slug' => 'does' ),
    'capability_type' => 'post',
    'hide_meta_box'   => array( 'slug' ),
    'post_states'     => false
  );

  return $post_types;
}

add_filter('piklist_admin_pages', 'add_program_admin_pages');
function add_program_admin_pages($pages) {
  $pages[] = array(
    'page_title'    => __('Archive Settings'),
    'menu_title'    => __('Archive Settings'),
    'sub_menu'      => 'edit.php?post_type=' . PROGRAM_TYPE,
    'capability'    => 'edit_others_posts',
    'menu_slug'     => 'program-archive-settings',
    'setting'       => 'program-settings'
  );

  return $pages;
}

add_filter('option_page_capability_program-settings', 'set_program_archive_capability');
function set_program_archive_capability() {
  return 'edit_others_posts';
}

Notice that I’m using “program-settings” in the hook, not “program-archive-settings”.
