 * Hi Tobias,
    I’m using Profile Builder plugin to edit roles so Contributors can
   do a bit more. I see there are capabilities built in to TablePress. I’m trying
   to let the Contributor make and edit their own tables but not edit or delete 
   other’s tables.
 * Here are some capabilities I’ve added. So far it seems getting the power to make
   a table also allows them to edit other’s?
 * tablepress_add_tables
    tablepress_list_tables tablepress_edit_tables edit_tablepress_tables(
   like previous??) publish_tablepress_tables
 * Thanks,
    Jim

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, this is not directly possible. The reason is that TablePress uses
   some extra capabilities, due to how the internals work. Thus, only the capabilities
   that begin with “tablepress_” are really relevant — and unfortunately, those 
   don’t directly allow what you are after, sorry 🙁
 * Now, I am however working on a TablePress Extension that will allow a more fine-
   grained control here. As it’s still a work in progress, I don’t have details 
   published though. If you are interested in testing it, please send me an email(
   the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”).
 * Regards,
    Tobias
