Conditional Component Expression by User Capability

Support
#1

I have defined a member_only_content capability and associated it to specific roles on my sight (this can be seen from the plugin interface I used here.

Now I’m trying to leverage this in Cornerstone to make a specific section visible only if the current user has this capability but I don’t see a way to do this. I’ve tried {{dc:user:meta key="member_only_content"}} but it returns no value. I’ve also tried {{ user.meta({"key":"wp_capabilities"}) }} but it seems to return an array containing the User Role.

Based on some details I found here I also tried {{ user.can('member_only_content') }} but it also doesn’t appear to provide any value

Really hoping there is a way to accomplish this but just need some guidance. Thanks!
