 * Hello,
 * First of all thanks for this plugin it is really awesome 😀
 * However I still have a problem I couldnt resolve with capabilities for the role
   Author.
    My problem is that all authors can see and edit tables from others but
   I couldnt find the correct capabilities to avoid that.
 * Is there a way to give Authors only the capability to edit (or see) only the 
   tables they have created/imported ?
 * Thanks in advance !

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I see what you are trying to achieve, but unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint
   you here.
    Such a fine-grained access control is not yet possible with TablePress.
   If a user is allowed to edit tables, he can edit all tables. However, I’m already
   working on a TablePress Extension that could make this possible in the future.
   It will however still take some time to finish this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * Thanks for the answer. Can’t wait for this plugin, until then I’ll manage my 
   tables differently.
 * Thanks again !
