 * When I activate the plugin, it works for everyone who is not connected as admin,
   but it displays a 403 forbidden erro for admins on the whole site (we have access
   to the admin panel though but impossible to preview the changes we make)

 * The plugin checks, if the user is logged in and have the right role; the role
   from the settings on the plugin. The frontend is viewabl, if you has logged in
   and also the right role; thats all. Maybe problems with permalinks?
