if tyoun just want a role called VIP with participant capabilities, then undo whatever you did above, and then put this in your functions file

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
$bbp_roles[''my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'vip',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

@robin-w
I undo my post above in functions file then paste the code you provide.

Then…

sorry the code is/was untested.

Try this with a correction

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'vip',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
