8663,Allow customizing capabilities prefix through wp-config.php,hudatoriq,hudatoriq,"It's better if we are able to customize the user capabilities prefix. There are some advantages:

1. Security improvement.[[BR]]
2. Allow users to customize their multiple WP installations and share single user table & capabilities information without hacking the core script.

Right now the user capabilities prefix is always the same as the $table_prefix.

For user table sharing, some people have been practicing it. [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164758 See this forum thread]. We share a database, set different $table_prefix for each installation, define the CUSTOM_USER_TABLE and CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE into the same value. The only problem is, we can't share the same user capabilities list since we can't set the prefix to other value than $wp_prefix. This could be improved if we add conditional statement to see whether the capabilities prefix is already defined in somewhere else (e.g. wp-config.php).
