 * Hi guys,
    I have a question about user roles. I have a group of authors that 
   post to the Blog. It is a company blog, covering 4 different departments. What
   I would like to do is make one person from each department an editor, being able
   to edit other people´s posts – however only people from their department. I even
   downloaded some Plugins, but was not able to find a solution to this, because
   when I make someone an editor, they can edit anything they want. My goal is for
   them to only be able to edit posts of authors from their department and not authors
   or editors from other departments. Is this possible in WP or via some plugin?
   It seems to me like a relatively common situation, which should be solvable.
 * Thanks in advance for any help
