I love that is works well with network sites so I don’t have to replicate my settings
across each of my sites. The only issue I ran into is that only network roles are
added to the network settings. Maybe it’s by design, but it would be awesome if 
it picked up the roles from the sites because that is where plugins like User Role
Editor and WooCommerce have registered them. In order to protect these I would have
to modify the settings for each of my network sites separately. Annoying but totally
doable. Thanks for the quick and easy solution today!
