 * Hi there,
    How can I hack your plugin so I can assign publish/edit capabilities
   to a role? I’m using a capabilities editor and have found I can’t simply add “
   edit_artist” and “publish_artist” to a role. Something about how the Post Type
   was registered. Where should I go look if I want to give my Post Type this capability?
 * Thanks a lot. Your plugin is indispensable to me as an eternal n00b who gets 
   headaches every time he sees PHP.

 * Hello,
 * There are many plugins for access control. Search for them in the WP Plugin Gallery
