 * Hello! I could use some help with this plugin in a multisite environment. I have
   a few questions. I just need to know what to expect.
 * First, I do not see a network-level settings area. I do notice that some of the
   things I have checked on one blog’s Adminimize settings page are also checked
   on other blogs….but in other cases that does not seem to be true.
 * Is there a difference between network activation, and per-site activation?
 * How does it handle a situation where different sites have different roles?
 * Thank you!

 * Hey.
    The multisite support is more a hack as a solution.
 * If you activate it network wide, then you get in all sites a setting page – it
   is important, each site have other areas and the plugin get all options from 
   the install, there can be really different in each site.
    You should save, update
   the setting in this site, that have the most plugin, items, areas, from all sites.
   After saving options, the options will save in the network option, only one database
   entry for all sites.
 * If you have really different sites, with really different areas, items, etc. 
   Then it is easier to use the plugin as single activation in each site. But as
   helper you can use the ex-/import functionality.
 * best.

 * That’s great information, thank you. Do you think that changes made to individual
   blogs in a network-activated scenario might unintentionally change settings in
   other blogs, if they have the same plugins activated?

 * No, the changes are solid. But if you change plugins in the sites, you should
   update the settings. Only a update of the settings page of Adminimize get all
   data to create a option.
