Requires the MB Custom Post Type plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API — abilities are only registered when the WP_Ability class exists. The two definition-management ability groups (managing the post-type and taxonomy blueprints themselves) require the 'manage_options' capability. The per-content-type abilities are only registered for the specific custom post types and taxonomies you build with MB Custom Post Type, and only for the individual actions (get, get metadata, create, update, delete) you enable for that content type in its Abilities settings; each is additionally gated by the matching native WordPress capability (e.g. read, create_posts, edit_post, delete_post for post types; assign_terms, manage_terms, edit_terms, delete_terms for taxonomies).
