I have developing a multiple author site where authors fall into different roles, e.g. (Press Releases, Columnnists, General bloggers). All are profiled as authors.
Is there an easy way to use the list-author function but only include the authors that occupy a specific role.
Thanks
Not too sure I can address your question but point you to several things:
1. Don't know if this applies but here Owen Winkler warns "NEVER check anything against a role name":

2. wp-hackers "Select all users with role x" thread:

3. Owen's Role Manager plugin:

Thanks Michael:
The answer to use the deprecated wp_user_level value is a way of getting around this but requires defining different levels for the differnt author roles and does not appear to be a long term solution.
Anybody else got any other thoughts?
