Custom User Roles Lost in WP 2.7

[technosailor]

It seems that it is impossible to assign roles to users outside of the defaul WP roles. For many users, the User Role Manager plugin is essential in granularly managing capabilities for users. Especially on larger, multi-author blogs (like mine). It's important that QuickEdit and Edit posts don't assume that the only roles available are the default user roles and that WordPress respect custom capabilities.

I've been sucessfully using the Role Manager plugin with 2.7 for a project recently, and it works as expected. (Mind you, I did have to fix a truckload of notice-level errors and warnings before it was useable)

The only problem i ran into is that publishing posts/pages/editing attachments/random other items were linked to publish_posts, publishing pages were moved onto the publish_pages cap though.

Quick Edit and friends check individual caps, not roles. Is there something specific that is breaking? Role assignment should work the same as ever.

Hmmm... out of the mouth of two or three witnesses... Not sure what is gumming stuff up then. Will do some more homework.
