## Description

This plugin was developed to meet a specific need: an organisation had members and
non-members logging into
 the blogs. The requirement called for members to be able
to comment without needing administrator approval. Non-members needed to get their
comments approved before they were displayed.

So long as users are created with the correct role (e.g. “members” and “nonmembers”
in this case) this
 plugin allows you to add the “Role Approved Comments” capability
to any of those roles. If the role a user is in has that capability, then their 
comments will automatically be approved.

There is no administration screen for this plugin. You must use the
 [capsman](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/)
plugin to manage the capability. The capability will appear as “Role approved comment”.

This plugin does not affect any other rules you have set for approvals. For example,
if comments are set
 to be auto-approved once a user has already got one approved
comment through the system, then their subsequent comments will be approved regardless
of the capability setting.

### Arbitrary section

## Installation

Just install this plugin, ensure you have the capsman plugin installed, and set 
the “Role approved comment”
 capability for any role that requires automatic approval
of all its comments.

## FAQ

  Does the capsman plugin need to be installed first?

No. The capsman module is used to turn the capability on and off, but is not a prerequisite
to
 installing or using this plugin. Once the capabilities are set, the capsman 
extension could be deactivated without any effect on this plugin.
