 * Right now you have to be Administrator to access the plugin in the back end. 
   Is there a way for me to create a custom role that would allow access for a user
   to restrict their own content? I’d like for a couple of users to be able to use
   it in the backend, or even just the editor or author role.

 * In the Settings, you can opt to allow authors to control their own group and 
   content.
