    Hello,

    At first I would like to say this wonderful plugin does exactly what it is supposed to!
    I only have one question, is it possible to disable the capability inheritance of parent groups?

    I want one parent group which can access all child groups, and the users in child groups can’t access eachothers pages and can’t access the administrator pages.

    – Administrator_group -> parent group which contains administrators
    – Customer #1 -> child group which contains customers from one company
    – Customer #2 -> child group which contains customers from another company
    – Customer #3 -> child group which contains customers from another company

    I give access restrictions to pages, which are defined per group.
    Like it is now the users will have the capability of the parent administrator group. I want exactly the opposite, is this possible?

    In this case the child groups shouldn’t be that, they should not have the administrator group as parent group ??

    If you want the child groups to have some of the capabilities of the administrator group, you should rather do one of:

    a) assign desired capabilities to each group
    b) create a parent group for both the administrator group as well as the other groups, so that they inherit a set of common capabilities; then assign additional capabilities to the administrator group

    Thanks for your answer.

    I have to use this a bit different as I first had in mind, but it won’t be a problem ??

    Thanks for your great plugin and your explanation about this subject!
