 * I am setting up a site with different levels. Therefore, I want the lowest level
   to only be able to submit posts and pages to their group level and not the higher
   levels.
 * However, I also want to allow higher levels to be able to submit posts and pages
   with read access for the lower levels as well.
 * Any ideas the best way to set this up?

 * Assume groups AAA and BBB with capabilities aaa and bbb assigned and enabled 
   to restrict access to posts. You can allow members of AAA to work with posts 
   that require bbb if you also assign that capability to AAA. Another way is to
   use hierarchical groups as they inherit the capabilities of the parent group.
