 * Hi guys, I run WP Job Manager with Company Profiles, Resume Manager and Field
   Editor.
    We have 2 user roles: Employer and Candidate. Each of them should be
   capable only for actions for that role, but actually an Employer can add his 
   resume as well as an Candidate logged in can add a job and that is not right.
 * For what we have 2 roles if any user logged can do anything for other role?
 * I missed some configuration here?
 * Thank you.

 * This (i.e. a separation of powers approach) is actually not how WP Job Manager
   handles role capabilities by default. If you want to do something advanced with
   roles and capabilities, you might try the User Role Editor plugin here:
