 * I’ve set up a site with BuddyPress and S2Member because I want users to be able
   to post stories using a GravityForm, but I only want logged in users to be able
   to see the stories. It appears that S2Member Level0-4 users cannot be the author
   of Custom Post Types (or posts in general). Is this a limitation of S2Member,
   or is there a way to allow S2Member Level 0 users to submit/publish posts?

 * You can use the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin to add such a capability to
   any s2Member role.

 * I installed that plugin and added the capability, but it didn’t work. So I’m 
   assuming this is not something S2Member is capable of doing?

 * If it’s not working for you, then either you haven’t done it correctly or you
   have another problem on your site.
 * You see, it’s not really a question of whether s2Member is “capable” of this 
   or not. s2Member roles are just WP subscriber roles with a particular capability
   added. You can add (or subtract) as many other capabilities to or from s2Member
   roles as you want. This is core WordPress functionality.

 * Got it – I found out that even if the ‘author’ – being the person submitting 
   the Gravity Form – doesn’t have edit_post capabilities, they will still be listed
   as the author of the custom post type post that is published as a result of their
   form being filled out, so this isn’t a problem any more.
 * Thanks!
