Hi, first I want to say THANK YOU for this great plugin! I was really wondering how to access permissions and roles in wordpress, until I found your plugin that helped a lot to understand what is hidden in the wp_user_roles option.
I am also using BuddyPress now to evaluate it for a restricted group setup, and I tried to get things going with RoleScoper - however, it seems that BuddyPress group permissions are handled differently - I especially wanted to control who can create groups - this is not a capability.
So I came across this plugin: BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation plugin
The author gave me some valuable hint:
BuddyPress does not use wp_roles/caps internally (all members are default subscribers level). The “Group Admin” and “Group Mod” are just simple flags within the groups_members table which allow editing and moderating with the group (ie, group settings, editing forum topics/posts, etc)

Well, I am writing this because I would like to motivate you to take a look into BuddyPress - the responsibilities that come with beeing a webmaster of a social website generate an urgent need for a tool that gives full insight about what goes on with permissions behind the curtains. Your plugin is a totally indispensable tool for gaining some knowledge about what is going on and control it. I personally do not understand that wordpress does not come with an advanced tool to control permissions, users and groups by default. It would be great to have your tool support group permissions for BuddyPress too - I see a big, empty space here to fill!
Thank you very much for your attention,
Snaky
