 * Hello,
   I think there is an error with the added roles.Weird thing is happening,
   when a user is assigned more than one role, the capabilities decrease instead
   of increase.
 * For example, if it is a Publisher role, I assign an additional Subscriber role,
   this last role will subtract some Publisher capabilities from the role.
 * Normally the roles should add up and add capabilities to the topmost role and
   not the other way around.
 * Thank you
