   I need an overview of the different user roles in bbPress. E.g. what is the "Key Manager" and what is the difference between him an the "Administrator"?

   I can't seem to find anything in the documentation. Can anybody help with this?

   Key Manager - #1 The big Cheese
   Administrator - #1 The Veep.

   I'm not sure, but I think only a Key Manager can add new admins and Key Managers.

   The Key Manager is basically designed to always be able to do everything, without any loss of functionality. Where as Admin's can be changed to be whatever you would like them to be.

   If you want the side by side comparison:
   

   $roles->add_role( 'keymaster', __('Key Master'), array(
   		'use_keys' => true,				// Verb forms of roles - keymaster
   		'administrate' => true,			// administrator
   		'moderate' => true, 			// moderator
   		'participate' => true,			// member
   
   		'keep_gate' => true,			// Make new Key Masters		//+
   		'import_export' => true,		// Import and export data	//+
   		'recount' => true,				// bb-do-counts.php			//+
   		'manage_options' => true,		// backend					//+

   		'manage_plugins' => true,		// Plugins					//+
   		'manage_options' => true,		// Options					//+
   		'edit_users' => true,
   		'manage_tags' => true,			// Rename, Merge, Destroy
   		'edit_others_favorites' => true,

   		'close_topics' => true,
   		'stick_topics' => true,
   		'move_topics' => true,
   		'view_by_ip' => true,			// view-ip.php
   		'edit_closed' => true,			// Edit closed topics
   		'edit_deleted' => true,			// Edit deleted topics/posts
   		'browse_deleted' => true,		// Use 'deleted' view
   		'edit_others_tags' => true,
   		'edit_others_topics' => true,
   		'delete_posts' => true,
   		'throttle' => true,				// Post back to back arbitrarily quickly
   		'ignore_edit_lock' => true,
   		'edit_others_posts' => true,
   		'edit_favorites' => true,
   		'edit_tags' => true,
   		'edit_topics' => true,			// Edit title, resolution status
   		'edit_posts' => true,

   		'write_topics' => true,
   		'write_posts' => true,
   		'change_password' => true,
   		'read' => true
   	) );
   
   	$roles->add_role( 'administrator', __('Administrator'), array(

   		'edit_closed' => true,
