   The WP Widget Cache Changelog indicates:

   Some widgets output different content to different visitors, like Administrator/Subscriber/Editor/Author, for more information, read this

   Could you indicate what the different visitors might expect to see based on their User Role/Capabilities (that link just goes to the WordPress Codex for Roles & Capabilities)?

   Hi,

   Actually the difference is based on User Level, or more clearly $current_user->wp_user_level.

   Sorry... My question wasn't clear:

   Does WP Widget Cache behave differently depending on the User Level? For example, does it 'hide' options for Editor or Author, that it displays for Administrator?

   Hi,

   For example, if there's 2 levels, then there should be 2 cache files, the widget cache plugin will just use the UserLevel as a key to get the right cache file.

   As to what would output, that depends on the widget itself.

   Regards,
   Andrew

   OK... I was hoping that you could hide the WP-Widget cache options in the widgets themselves, for non Admin (or in the case of WordPressMU non-Site Admin) users... That way, the Admin/Site Admin could set the caching options, and not worry about lower-level users monkeying around with the settings ('helping'). ;-)
