 * Hi Alex,
 * Your wallets capabilities have problems. As soon as I clean up the capabilities,
   ie only give a certain group access to the wallet, and save that, I am locked
   out of the plugin completely.
 * I have to remove and reinstall the plugin to get back in, not wanting to go dig
   in the database.
 * Then I created a super group, for management, because you do not show the admin
   role there, to assign “manage wallets”. When I create this super group, I already
   give it all the wallets capabilities, in wordpress roles.
 * Then I go back to the wallets capabilities, make sure the super group has manage,
   and save.
 * I am locked out again.
 * So, problems with capabilities.
 * Graeme

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for reporting. I have never been able to reproduce this issue but I’ve
   heard others who had it.
 * I have prepared a patch where the plugin’s cron job will check if there are admin
   users with the `manage_wallets` capability, and if not, it will re-assign the
   capability to the *Administrator* role.
 * Because of this new safety precaution it will again be possible to edit capabilities
   of the Administrator role.
 * In the meantime, you do not have to reinstall the plugin. Simply use any capabilities-
   editing plugin to restore the `manage_wallets` cap to your user. Again, this 
   will not be necessary after today’s release.
 * with regards
