## Description

A [Multisite](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network) Network plugin. Go to
Network–>Settings to “Enable Administration Meta Boxes”. Meta boxes(post, page, 
link, menu, comment, and dashboard) are unchecked and disabled by default. Extra
options to toggle the Quick Edit buttons, Media buttons, Screen Options and Help
links. Toggle to Restrict Comment Editing to Editor+ roles. SuperAdmin comments 
can only be edited by a SuperAdmin. Extra options to toggle the Quick Edit buttons,
Media buttons, Screen Options and Help links.

I use the plugin to simplify the various edit forms available to the entire network
of sites.

Added a toggle so only users with at least an Editor role can edit others comments.
I also wanted SuperAdmin comments to be editable only by SuperAdmin.

   Cap/Role (SuperAdmin can override the limits of the plugin however).
