Notes:

• A Role is a collection of capabilities.
• Capabilities in a user's Wordpress Role(s) enable blog-wide operations (read/edit/delete) on some object type (post/page/link), perhaps of a certain status (private/published/draft).
• Scoped Roles can grant users these same Wordpress capabilities on a per-Category or per-Post basis. Useful in fencing off sections your site.
• Users with a Category Role assignment may have capabilities beyond their General Role(s) for Posts in the specified Category.
• If a role is restricted for some Category, general (blog-wide) assignments of that role are ignored.
• If a Post is in multiple Categories, permission is granted if any Category has a qualifying role assignment or permits a qualifying Blog Role.
• Category Roles for Wordpress pages are disabled for this blog. Object Roles can be assigned to individual pages, and optionally propagated to sub-pages. Another option is to categorise pages via the Page Category Plus plugin.
• If a role is restricted for some requested Post, Categories and Blog assignments of that role are ignored.
• Any users with the activate_plugins capability (Administrators) are exempted from Role Restrictions.
