I quickly found out how to change that capability by adding a few lines to my functions.php file, but private posts/pages would be more useful if administrators could check a box for this setting rather than mucking with the capabilities by hand. In short, there ought to be an option under Reading: minimum role for accessing private content. (Related to this: once users are logged in and are allowed to read private pages, they should be able to see those pages in page lists -- #6939.)" enhancement closed normal General 2.8.4 normal wontfix
