I’m not sure what you mean by “multiple authors to each have their own publishing rights”, exactly. Can you explain in greater detail?

I’m just starting a blog site which has multiple authors who each write their own topics. The way your plugin is currently set up, only one person can set the posting rights.
Let’s say I have Myself and Author 2. I’m the admin, and set the posting rights to post to my facebook page, and my fan page.
Author 2 logs into their own account, and wants to configure their posts to post to their facebook.
I currently don’t see support for author 2 to do this, as the plugin setting options don’t show up. I logged into their account to check for them.
There’s nothing for them to set up. The automatic posting mechanism is blog-wide. When they post, it will auto-post just the same. If you set it up to auto-post to the Fan Page, then it will, regardless of who makes the post on the site.
If they want to manually publish to their own profile, they should have a Facebook Publisher metabox on the Edit post screen that will let them manually make a post whenever they want. Check the Screen Options dropdown to turn it on if you’re not seeing it.
Auto-posting applies to every post made by anybody, automatically. Manual posting is at the discretion of the author, more or less.
I will consider making the automatic-Profile-posting configurable per-user though. This would make a bit more sense, since right now if you configure automatic profile posting, and author 2 posts, then it’s going to show up on your profile, not his.

Thanks for the quick response. I hope you do decide to use this method in the future, as this is a great plugin, and I would love to see support for multiple authors. Until then, I’m using a mixture of setting between this plugin, and the “add-link-to-facebook” plugin to get desired outcome. I shall be checking back in the future. Keep up the great work!
