 * I’ve been looking at this and the paid-for plugin and have a question, having
   seen someone else using it.
 * You have a registration addon, which can be attached to submission forms. I believe
   that by default yours gives newly registered users ‘contributor’ status.
 * I use an alternative form and user registration method for now, and with that
   I give users one of 3 custom user roles (retail, wholesale and consumer) depending
   on the form they use to register.
 * Each of these 3 user roles has the capabilities below:
 * ‘read’ => true,
    ‘edit_posts’ => true, ‘edit_pages’ => false, ‘edit_others_posts’
   => false, ‘create_posts’ => false, (distributor has this set to true)
 * I am debating using your forms, with the user reg addon. I want 2 of the user
   roles above to be able to submit a post via a form which includes a reg form.
   I want them to then be able to edit their own posts, but not add new posts (so
   one per registration).
 * Those with distributor roles will do the same as above, but be able to create
   additional posts (after the initial first posting and registration) via a form(
   hidden to all except logged-in distributors) which doesn’t have a registration
   component – but submit them only as draft.
 * Most of this is not rocket science, I know, but does your registration system
   and posting setup require new users to be contributors, or doesn’t it make any
   difference – in terms of the form working without needing extra work/code/editing?

 * Our registration add-on does not require new users to be contributors. You can
   set the user’s role in our Register User action.
 * It sounds like you could do everything you need with Formidable and the Registration
   add-on. If you have any other questions about this, let us know! We recommend
   posting in the help desk in the future for any questions that you may have:
