 * First let me say that I love this plugin. It’s awesome!
 * The only issue that I have is in reguards to it’s permissions. I’ve just installed
   a fresh WordPress install and activate your plugin. I want to provide it to my
   sites “Contributors” as a way for them too quickly add content via the TinyMCE
   buttons. The problem is, those users that are assigned the “Contributor” level
   can’t see any of the buttons. But they can see the “Shortcodes” sidebar area.
   They also have access to the “Add New Shortcode”.
 * What I would like to know is if there is a way to removed the access to the admin
   area of the “Shortcodes” so they can’t go messing around with it and still allow
   them access to the buttons created in the TinyMCE editor when they are creating
   a new post?
 * Thanks

 * Hi movierelics,
 * Version 1.1.4 allows you to filter the default capability. I would suggest to
   keep it on default though for security matters.
 * `apply_filters('mv_shortcodes_pro_capability','manage_options');`
 * Kind Regards!
