Column Buttons only available to Editors and Admins

This is the logic that the plugin is using to decide to show the buttons in the editor

current_user_can('edit_posts') && current_user_can('edit_pages')

So if the user can edit posts and edit pages it will show.

Make sense??

Perfect !!!

//* Override Genesis Easy Columns so Authors and up have button
remove_action('init', 'gc_add_button');
function trc_gc_add_button() {
	   if ( current_user_can('edit_posts'))
	   {
		  	add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'gc_add_plugin');
			add_filter('mce_buttons', 'gc_register_button');
	   }
	}
add_action('init', 'trc_gc_add_button');

I think this one is worthy of an update and change to allow Authors to have the buttons. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I will include this in the next release.
