 * As people go first of all thanks for the info provided in the forum, I have a
   problem and can not find the solution anywhere.
 * It turns out that I need to mimic the same pattern of capabilities that use the
   wordpress post and to apply it in a post custom type but not to work the same
   way.
 * These are my Capabilities defined in register_post_type:
 *     ```
       'capability_type' => 'car',
       'capabilities' => array(
                       'publish_posts' => 'publish_car',
                       'edit_posts' => 'edit_car',
                       'edit_others_posts' => 'edit_others_car',
                       'delete_posts' => 'delete_car',
                       'delete_others_posts' => 'delete_others_car',
                       'read_private_posts' => 'read_private_car',
                       'edit_post' => 'edit_car',
                       'delete_post' => 'delete_car',
                       'read_post' => 'read_car',
                   )
       ```
   
 * The purpose of defining a capabilities identical to that of wordpress post is
   because I need certain users to see this type of post type CAR and send me your
   post, I will verify and publish.
 * These users are contributors and can not publish directly to a post type CAR (
   ie that a user contributor roles in the scheme of common post) Passing in clean
 * User Contributor:
    Create new post type CAR and then sent for review Eliminates
   post type CAR Once the public admin post and sent the contributor can not edit.
 * My problem is that putting together a capabilities identical, the user is editing
   the CAR post where these have already been published, and when I encode:
 * `'capability_type' => 'post',`
 * this works well
    I need to define that role for post type CAR? Members plugins
   I’m using to create and assign the new Capabilities
