   Excellent plugin. Resolved most of my needs except 2 of them (listed below).

   I am able to create a user and edit plugin settings when options "Create Users" and "Edit Plugins" are unchecked. Any reason why?

   Cheers,

   Unchecked in your own role? Have to see all the roles and capabilities you have to see this.

   Any way, the plugin only sets/unsets capabilities for a role. How these capabilities work is up to WordPress core and other plugins that use capabilities.

   A good place to start is http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

   I am not able to follow your response. I am providing more details.

   1. I create a new Role (called myAdmin). This role has all capabilities as a regular "Administrator" except cannot add/edit/delete user accounts and edit plugins. So I have capabilities "Create User", "Delete User", "Edit Plugins", "Edit User" and "Manage Capabilities" uncheked (everything else checked).

   2. I create a user account and associate the user with this role (called myAdmin). This user is now not able to edit or delete user account (these options are not available any more) but "Add User" option is still available and can edit plugins. Is this a possible bug?.

   I hope this information above helps.

   Thanks
   Harish

   Well, if the capability is unchecked the user does not have it. If the user can do that action, could be caused boy another WordPress capability allowing it.

   I would ask this on the general forum, as it is a WordPress issue. The plugin only sets/unsets capabilities and does nothing else.
