 * I’m just learning how to work with the plugin but I was wondering the following:
 * I have custom post types like “Job”, “Project”, … . Is it possible to set capability
   for roles to only create and edit Jobs? I see I can’t do this now. Maybe this
   is possible with the pro version?
 * Or do I have to add custom capabilities for this?

 * It depends from how custom post type is defined. It may use its own capabilities
   set or use built-in one, e.g. for posts or pages:
