19287,Comment management capabilities,johnbillion,,"I thought this had been brought up before but I can't find a relevant ticket mentioning `edit_comments` or `manage_comments`.

The capability required to access the Comments screen is `edit_posts`. If you have a custom post type with its own capabilities (eg. `edit_foos` instead of `edit_posts`) then it's not possible to give access to the comments screen (for viewing comments on custom post types) to users with the `edit_foos` capability but without the `edit_posts` capability.

Ideally the capabilities relating to comments would be linked to post types, for example `edit_post_comments`, `edit_page_comments` and `edit_foo_comments` along with an `edit_comments` meta capability, but this might be asking a little too much.
