 * user levels, from wp wiki:
 * > each user can edit/modify posts and options for other users whose level is 
   > lesser than his own.
 * I want to have:
    each user can edit/modify posts and options for others whose
   level IS EQUAL OR lesser than is own.
 * What do I have to do to change it?

 * I would like the same feature. In a workgroup setting, team members with the 
   same level of permission would ideally be able to edit posts regardless of the
   original author. It becomes very difficult to track levels and functionality 
   when the permission is strictly tied to the author.
 * It helps to think of posts or pages as generic company info rather than individual
   opinions. Then anyone who is an authorized site editor can make those changes
   as needed as well as add new pages.
 * I have created a phantom user at a low level who is manually assigned the author
   of all new posts, so higher level editors can access all posts. But there is 
   no way to track who created the post, should that be necessary.

 * I agree that this would be a most useful feature. The idea of creating a lower
   level user is a good work around. There is also another suggestion in the support
   forums to have more than one admin (my changing a user’s user_level via SQL).
   The best solution though would be to change the level compare to <=
