Wanted: role-based plugins!

    After playing around with the Beta, I resume: Version 2.0 is a great step forward for me.

    Maybe the most useful change is going from hierarchical user levels to roles, which provides a “real” user management.

    Good explanation of the roles concept here:

    But:

    Since Plugins might change Roles and Capabilities, just the ‘standard’ Roles and Capabilities are addressed in this article.

    Or as I read in Simple Thoughts today:

    Role replaces user level. I am assuming tons of plugins which check the user level before allowing specific action will fail.

    I agree. Unfortunately I’m just a wp user and does not have any programming skills, but I really would like to see some plugins like:

    – Defining your own roles not only the ‘standard’ ones
    – Permission management for specific categories based on roles

    And I’m sure, that we will have it.
