What's the difference between User Roles?

   Specifically, Key Master and Administrator?

   They seem pretty interchangable... I know the BBPress Doc files are pretty infantile at the moment, but what are the key differences between all the roles?

   ...*insert ZOOL reference here*

   You can learn about the capabilities assigned to each role in the file bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities/php

   If we read bbPress code, we can. What if we'd like to read it in English?

   Honest, I'll bet there's a one-sentence description of the difference between 'key master' and 'administrator'

   1. Make new Key Masters
   2. Import and export data
   3. Recount (bb-do-counts.php)
   4. Manage options
   5. Manage themes
   6. Manage plugins

   See file functions.bb-capabilities.php.
