Hi,

Yes there is and it involves adding a bit of custom code into a custom functions plugin.

I shared a gist on GitHub as an example:

You can modify and add the above to a functions plugin.

Just to note, you may want to add a WP_User instance check to the above, if at some point you run an event that does not require the user to be logged in you’ll get a fatal error as add_cap() will not be available.

So this line:

$user->add_cap('a_new_wp_capability');

Would be:

if( $user instanceof WP_User ) {
    $user->add_cap('a_new_wp_capability');
}
