I can’t see to get it. The capabilities fail to appear when using plugins like “Capability Manager” or “Members” to view a list of available capabilities.
This is the code I’m attempting to use:
add_action( 'init', 'register_taxonomy_spot_tag' );
function register_taxonomy_spot_tag() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Spot Tags', 'spot tag' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Spot Tag', 'spot tag' ),
'search_items' => _x( 'Search Spot Tags', 'spot tag' ),
'popular_items' => _x( 'Popular Spot Tags', 'spot tag' ),
'all_items' => _x( 'All Spot Tags', 'spot tag' ),
'parent_item' => _x( 'Parent Spot Tag', 'spot tag' ),
'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Spot Tag:', 'spot tag' ),
'edit_item' => _x( 'Edit Spot Tag', 'spot tag' ),
'update_item' => _x( 'Update Spot Tag', 'spot tag' ),
'add_new_item' => _x( 'Add New Spot Tag', 'spot tag' ),
'new_item_name' => _x( 'New Spot Tag Name', 'spot tag' ),
'separate_items_with_commas' => _x( 'Separate spot tags with commas', 'spot tag' ),
'add_or_remove_items' => _x( 'Add or remove spot tags', 'spot tag' ),
'choose_from_most_used' => _x( 'Choose from the most used spot tags', 'spot tag' ),
'menu_name' => _x( 'Spot Tags', 'spot tag' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'capabilities' => array(
'manage_terms' => 'manage_spot_tags',
'edit_terms' => 'edit_spot_tags',
'delete_terms' => 'delete_spot_tags',
'assign_terms' => 'assign_spot_tags'
)
);
register_taxonomy( 'spot_tag', array('spot'), $args );
}
I generated the above code with this tool:

Try using add_cap …. adding new capability and creating the capability first in functions.php, i cant locate anything that says capabilities can be created in registering a taxonomy, but you can certainly assign them there..
This is really old, but number uno hit on my google search, I found the anwser to be.
You don’t need to pre add the capabilities, just add “, ‘map_meta_cap’ => true” to you above code like so
This will make it add the capabilities seamlessly
