I'm currently testing Role Scoper for use in a pilot implementation of Wordpress as a CMS for a University website, and I'm really struggling to understand the interaction between WP Roles and RS Roles, and between RS Roles and RS Restrictions.

The specific problem I'm having right now, is that I can't figure out how to grant a certain set of permissions to a user group, but adjust those permissions for a particular user within the group on a particular page or object. For example, we have some custom post types built into our installation of Wordpress to handle News and Events. I have a user group with permissions to read, edit,  and delete all content within those two post types, but would like a subset of those users to ONLY have access to News posts. Is that possible, or does it require an entirely separate user group?

What about the reverse, where a user is a member of a group with only read access on a post type, but I would like that one user to be able to edit as well as read? Is that possible?

If there are any additional documentation resources beyond the main user guide that would go into more detail about these settings, that would be really helpful… Otherwise anyone who would be willing to give me some guidance would be most welcome.
