I'm trying to find the most clear way of describing my situation here in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a website where I sell editable "listings" of homes/properties.  Using Role Scoper, I've created a simplified WP admin area where the user (when logged in) is directed right to their list of "Properties".  A  Custom Post Type that I created.  I use the Gravity Forms Plugin (and a CPT "type" filter) to create DRAFT "Properties" from a form and by doing so, I can intercept the post/page creation and charge (via PayPal) for its creation.  All is coming along nicely….except that after the creation, I still need to get in and manually connect these new posts/pages with the specific user that is created them.  By connect, I mean, that I need to assign this user the RS capability ("Property Editor") for this particulare post. By default, my users are just subscribers with no editing capability..I assign them this single CPT editor capability for just the pages that they've created.  The cannot manage anything else in the site.

So…I hoping for a way (I'm not a plugin-writin'-PHP-all-star, but I do like a challenge) to programmatically connect my user(s) to their newly created page/posts and (with some parameter passing and filter/hook usage?) making a altogether hands-off web solution for myself.

Anyone have any suggestions or hints of where I might go looking next…I've sortof stalled out after several hours of scouring for a solution.

Thank you for the fantastic plugin and thanks in advance for any assistance here, 

Ross
