 * Is there a way to limit the administrator from reading private posts created 
   by editors or other roles?
 * We want an editor to create private posts that the super admin cannot open.
 * Thanks

 * Nope, that’s not doable. That would kind of make the admin role a not-admin. 
   An administrator level account has access to everything.
 * There maybe a way to fake it, but an admin account would still be able to undo
   things like that. It would come down to trusting that admin to _not_ look at 
   those private posts.
 * If you can’t trust or do not want to share those private posts with that admin
   account owner (sometimes that is not a matter of trust) then you may want to 
   consider a separate installation for just the editor who needs to keep those 
   posts private. On that separate installation exclude that admin.
