 * I’m trying to allow my authors to have edit capabilities. I’m not sure how to
   do this with this plugin. Or is there a function that I can use?

 * My reply here will shed some light on the capabilities topic and our plugin:

 * TLDR: I need to revise some things and add capabilities fields because the topic
   is only half covered with our plugin as-is.
