 * I have a few custom user roles defined for the site I am working on and I need
   one of these custom roles to be able to edit a menu. What kind of user capabilities
   do I need to grant this role in order for them to be able to edit menus?

 * Hi CaldwellYSR,
 * I haven’t yet put in any custom capabilities for managing the menus. It’s definitely
   on my todo list and I hope to get to it in a big update later this year.
 * In the meantime, it uses the same edit_posts set of capabilities used for managing
   posts and pages on the rest of your site. So there’s not a good way to fence 
   them off from those sections and just edit the menu. But if you’re comfortable
   with that any Author or Editor (can’t remember which) should be able to edit 
   the menus.
