I havn't test with the beta version but I will do but it didn't sounde like you had fixed this as I think it might be a core problem But I wanted to give you a heads up so you could confirm if this was a real problem. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13297

This is not a complaint. I like your plugin. Just let you know to add one more plugin to you list of incompatibles. Maintenance Mode from http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/maintenance-mode. With MM enabled get - Role Scoper cannot operate because another plugin or theme has already declared the function "set_current_user" or forced early execution of "pluggable.php". All posts, pages and links are currently hidden. Please remove the offending plugin, or deactivate Role Scoper to revert to blog-wide Wordpress roles.

The ability to let people request group membership will be a huge feature. Please let me know it's available.

Group Membership request functionality is already available in the current Role Scoper release (1.2.7). You can enable it as follows:

1. Enable the following options:
* Roles > Options > Features tab > User Groups > Use jQuery selection UI
* Roles > Options > Features tab > User Groups > Enable membership requests

2. Assign a General Role of Group Applicant to the [WP Subscriber] group, or whatever set of users who should be able to submit group requests.

3. Affected users can now request group membership via their user profile.

Hi

Great Plugin. I also got the error message when using in conjunction with maintenance manager

Role Scoper cannot operate because another plugin or theme has already declared the function "set_current_user" or forced early execution of "pluggable.php". All posts, pages and links are currently hidden. Please remove the offending plugin, or deactivate Role Scoper to revert to blog-wide Wordpress roles.

Disabling Maintenance manager fixed the issue - however, I'd like to have the use of both plugins (MM is good when you don't want to show the site to the public, yet work on it yourself.)

Thanks

Glad to hear the latest version of Maintenance Mode is compatible with Role Scoper.
