 After creating a new WordPress role with the bp_moderate capability, the
 Groups and Activity admin menus are not displayed.  Below are the
 capabilities of the user in this new role along with a screenshot of what
 the user sees.

 Capabilities available with role:

 activate_plugins => false,
 delete_others_pages => true,
 delete_others_posts => true,
 delete_pages => true,
 delete_plugins => false,
 delete_posts => true,
 delete_private_pages => true,
 delete_private_posts => true,
 delete_published_pages => true,
 delete_published_posts => true,
 edit_dashboard => false,
 edit_files => false,

 delete_themes => false,
 edit_plugins => false,
 edit_themes => false,
 edit_users => true,
 create_users => true,
 delete_users => true,
 unfiltered_html => true,
 bp_moderate => true

 It appears that the user should be able to see these menus as it appears
 that bp_moderate is the capability required to see the menu.  From bp-
 groups/bp-groups-admin.php:

 $hook = add_menu_page(
 __( ‘Groups’, ‘buddypress’ ),
 __( ‘Groups’, ‘buddypress’ ),
 ‘bp_moderate’,
 ‘bp-groups’,
 ‘bp_groups_admin’,
 ‘div’
 );

 Side note:  If I set manage_options => true, the menus display correctly,
 but that is not desired in this case.
