   Hi. I have a test user assigned as Editor, and they are unable to change Author on posts to an Author who is Administrator (other Editors are listed, but not Admins).

   Editor has the following capabilities:
   add_users
   create_users
   edit_others_posts
   edit_others_pages
   edit_pages
   edit_posts
   edit_private_pages
   edit_private_posts
   edit_users
   list_users
   publish_pages
   publish_posts

   Do I need to also add one of these?
   edit_usergroups
   promote_users

   Thanks,
   Jeff

   URE plugin excludes Administrator role from the roles list for all non-admin users. Otherwise critical security issues are possible.
   You can deactivate URE temporaly if you have not non-admin users with edit_users capability, or take authorship on such posts as admin yourself.
