 * I’ve been trying to get this to work for me, to at least understand how it is
   suppose to work at least.
 * so far this is what happens. i network activate the plugin manager and i set 
   the controls for the plugins i don’t want users to have control over to “none”
   
   save and go to my subsite to check to see if it worked.. and no still able to
   activate or disable.
 * i go to settings-> sites-> scroll down to options and i look to see if it enableed
   and they are not …
 * i’ve also tried different variations of both and all stay the same… i really 
   don’t understand the point of this plugin if it doesn’t change anything??
    Please
   help, what am i not doing right?

 * You are probably viewing the subsite plugins page as a super admin. Super admins
   can always see and activate any plugin on a subsite. If you login as a subsite
   admin you will only see the plugins that have permission.
