I have created custom post type as below.
register_post_type( 'connector',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Connectors' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Connector' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Connectors' ),
'add_new' => __( 'Add Connector' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Connector' ),
'edit' => __( 'Edit'),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Connector' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Connector'),
'view' => __( 'View Connector'),
'view_item' => __( 'View Connector'),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Connectors'),
'not_found' => __( 'No Connectors found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Connectors found in trash' ),
'parent' => __( 'Parent Connector')
),
'description' => __( 'This is where you can add new Connectors' ),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'page',
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'hierarchical' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'connector', 'with_front' => false ),
'query_var' => true,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'excerpt','author',/*, 'page-attributes'*/ ),
'taxonomies' => array('post_tag'), // this is IMPORTANT for adding tags
'has_archive' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_in_menu'=>false
)
);
and then further used into my website and having large number of authors.
Now, I want to add custom capabilities to my custom post type - 'connector'. I have followed answer from Change custom post type to hierarchical after being registered
function modify_connectors() {
if ( post_type_exists( 'connector' ) ) {
$capabilities = array(
'publish_posts' => 'publish_connectors',
'edit_posts' => 'edit_connectors',
'edit_others_posts' => 'edit_others_connectors',
'delete_posts' => 'delete_connectors',
'delete_others_posts' => 'delete_others_connectors',
'read_private_posts' => 'read_private_connectors',
'edit_post' => 'edit_connector',
'delete_post' => 'delete_connector',
'read_post' => 'read_connector',
);
global $wp_post_types, $wp_rewrite;
$wp_post_types['connector']->hierarchical = true;
$wp_post_types['connector']->capability_type = 'connector';
$wp_post_types['connector']->capabilities = $capabilities;
//I am not sure from nowonwards am I doing right or wrong
$args = $wp_post_types['connector'];
$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag("%connector%", '(.+?)', $args->query_var ? "{$args->query_var}=" : "post_type=connector&name=");
add_post_type_support('connector','page-attributes');
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'modify_connectors', 1 );
I can't find any custom capabilities under "User Role Editor" menu related to connector. Is this something possible to add custom capabilities after register post type has been completed?

Have you tried something like this:
'description' => __( 'This is where you can add new Connectors' ),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'page',
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'hierarchical' => true,
'capabilities' => array(
'publish_posts' => 'update_core',
'edit_others_posts' => 'update_core',
'delete_posts' => 'update_core',
'delete_others_posts' => 'update_core',
'read_private_posts' => 'update_core',
'edit_post' => 'edit_posts',
'delete_post' => 'update_core',
'read_post' => 'edit_posts',
),
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'connector', 'with_front' => false ),
'query_var' => true,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'excerpt','author',/*, 'page-attributes'*/ ),
'taxonomies' => array('post_tag'), // this is IMPORTANT for adding tags
