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’

what does a key master do that administrator doesn’t?
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.
