 * Is there a way to copy the actual Administrator permissions?
    My default Administrator
   role has 68 capabilities. The new role which I have titled “Founder” does not
   have the same number of permissions that the Administrator roll does. Both the
   Administrator and “Founder” roles have check-marks in all of the permission boxes.
 * Is there anything I could do to duplicate all of the Administrator permissions?

 * I could be wrong about this, but I suspect that the reason that it seems the 
   Founder role does not have all the capabilities of an Administrator is that there
   are tests in the code specifically for the role of Administrator, and not for
   the capabilities.
 * For example, if the code is written like this:
 * `if ( current_user_can('administrator') ) [`
 * then only Administrators will meet the test regardless of the capabilities assigned
   to other roles.
