Custom capabilities

The Internal Comments plugin registers a few custom capabilities. If you know what you’re doing, you can use a plugin like AAM to grant these capabilities to other users with WP Admin access.

When the plugin is activated all of these capabilities are automatically assigned to the Administrator role.
