 * Hello.
    I’m using the User Role Editor Plugin in WordPress 3.6. I want that ‘
   Subscribers’ can publish posts of their work. But when I do that and tick the
   publish_posts box and try to login and post something with a test account it 
   doesn’t work. It only works if I tick the edit_pages box aswell, but that I don’t
   want because they could delete work from others. I essentially want that users
   can upload their work, but not edit, delete or do anything else with it.
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * Without ‘edit_posts” capability user can not add new post.
    Why do not assign
   your users the “Author” role? With this role user may add, publish, edit, delete
   his own posts only. If you wish to use Subscriber instead, include to it the 
   same capabilities list as you have in the “Author” role.
 * Regards,
    Vladimir.
