 * Hi.
 * I want to assign partial admin rights to someone while I’m away. I will assign
   them the Author role so they can write and post their own movie reviews.
 * Does the author role allow them to access any previously published posts of mine
   from inside the admin panel, or will they be limited only to managing their own
   posts?
 * Thanks
    Ross
