Howdy - 2 questions:
1) According to the "Capability vs. Role Table" on this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities the "unfiltered html" option is only available to editors and up. I really want my authors to be able to post youtube videos (and other "embed" code). I'm assuming the current restriction (which drives me insane) has something do with this "unfiltered html" option. Can Role Scoper solve this problem? how?
2) I've been using another plugin called "Advanced Category Excluder" - http://ace.dev.rain.hu
I've been using it to keep certain categories from appearing on the front page. Can role scoper do this? how? I'd love to ditch the other plugin just to keep the clutter down.
Thanks!!

If you want your Authors to be able to insert javascript (and other unfiltered html) into any post/page they can edit, just use Capability Manager to add the unfiltered_html capability to the Author role. If you want to give them that ability only for specific page(s), post(s) or categor(ies), stay tuned for the next release of Role Scoper.

From the Usage Guide:
Restricting
Read Access by Post Category
- Go
to WP Admin
-> Restrictions -> Category
- Scroll
down to your
category of interest,
perhaps using the scroll link at top
- Select
the "Private
Post Reader" checkbox
to restrict read access to private posts by anonymous users and WP
Subscribers
- Optionally,
select
the "Post Reader"
checkbox to restrict read access to non-private posts by anonymous
users and WP
Subscribers (if the WP
Subscriber role has not been modified to include
read_private_posts)
- Scroll
to the top
- Note
that the
adjacent dropdown indicates
that the Update action will cause blog-wide assignment of the selected
roles to
be ignored for posts in the selected category.
- Click
the Update
button

Thanks a million!
As for the second question - the problem is I don't want the posts to be invisible - I just want them to not appear on the front page. I want them to still appear on their individual pages and on a special category page. So I guess i"m out of luck and will keep using the other plugin. No big deal.

I see. That's a bit outside Role Scoper's purpose, but you're not out of luck. If you want to simplify your configuration, just add this to the bottom of you wp-config.php:
function nicks_home_query( &$query ) {
if ( is_home() )
$query->query_vars['cat'] = '-10,-17'; // set to your non-visible catIDs
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'nicks_home_query' );
Just modify the above code with your desired hidden category IDs. And/or include catIDs without a leading negative to specify which categor(ies) posts MUST be in for home page visibility.
