    I am lost in the search engine labyrinth.
    Is there a separate create_post or create_posts capability?

    My specific goal is to allow users to create posts using widgets, buttons or other methods. The content of those posts will have specific content that is not edittable except by the administrator.

    If I remember my permissions correctly, Authors can create and edit posts that they make but cannot edit other’s posts. Editors can create and edit posts that they make and they can edit other’s posts. Admins can create and edit posts either as themselves or as another member. The subscriber, which is the default for creating new users, cannot create or edit any posts at all.

    Regardless of the base permissions, I am wondering if the create_posts capability still exists in the code base.

    My site needs two special content types that anyone can contribute new material to but cannot edit once they have done so with overall community and admin approval. In other words, content types for which a person cannot edit their own stuff.
