Resstrict Comment Moderation on Custom Post Type

    I have normal blog posts and posts to a custom post type called “Feedback”. Is there a way to keep my Editor/Author/etc. level users from being able to moderate comments to “Feedback” posts on the Comment moderation menu, while still allowing them access to the normal blog post comment moderation actions?

    Resolved, but there has to be a cleaner way that what I’ve done.

    Someone in the #wordpress IRC helped me write this for my theme functions.php:

    /* No one but moi can see edit-comments.php. */

add_action( 'admin_init', 'check_auth' );

function check_auth() {

        if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'edit-comments') > 0 && !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
          wp_redirect( 'wp-admin/edit.php' );
        }
}

    And I’ve just used CMS Press to hide the custom post type menu item from displaying at all. Now my Editor level users can only access/moderate comments from the edit post page that they belong to. If a comment to the custom post type needs to be edited/deleted, I’ll just access edit-comments.php myself and do a search for it.
