Description
I thought this had been brought up before but I can't find a relevant ticket mentioning edit_comments
or manage_comments
.
The capability required to access the Comments screen is edit_posts
. If you have a custom post type with its own capabilities (eg. edit_foos
instead of edit_posts
) then it's not possible to give access to the comments screen (for viewing comments on custom post types) to users with the edit_foos
capability but without the edit_posts
capability.
Ideally the capabilities relating to comments would be linked to post types, for example edit_post_comments
, edit_page_comments
and edit_foo_comments
along with an edit_comments
meta capability, but this might be asking a little too much.

I suggest keeping moderate_comments for accept/reject. Then add manage_comments (spam/trash/restore) and edit_comments for anything else. No special capabilities for each post type they relate to.
Reasons: Keep it simple. Comments are a special content type in it's own, and are only related to public post objects.
Comment moderation capabilities have been brought into consideration from slightly different point of view from time to time. It would be nice to solve this once and for all...
See: #4802, #6907, #12104 and others possibly.
