# Capability keeps getting reset

 * I’ve installed the plugin (v3.10) and created a new role to support a custom 
   post type that the site manages. All works ok, except that from time to time 
   the ‘Upload files’ capability for the new role type gets unset.
 * I’m sure that nobody is manually doing this, so am wondering whether there is
   anything in the plugin code itself that might be doing it.
 * I have a hunch that it happens whenever a new custom post type record gets added,
   but haven’t been able to pin it down to this yet.
 * Is this something you have come across before? Can you suggest any possible causes?

 * No I did not met with such situation before. I can suppose only that you may 
   have some security plugin which could remove “dangerous” capabilities from roles,
   it think should not have it… Please share, if you isolate the problem.
