[wp-hackers] current_user_can() and roles ?

[Frank Bueltge]

Hello,

the function current_user_can() has an paramter to give an object or role.
from the doc: @param string $capability Capability or role name.

On my plugin it is not possible to ask with a role_name, only with the
capability or the level_[value]
Is this correct or is this a error on my mind?

now i have write a small function for use rolename on this :
		function check_role() {
			$value = get_option( MY_OPTION );
			
			if ( !isset( $value['role'][0] ) || ( $value['role'][0] != '' ) )
				$role = 'level_8';
			
			if ( $value['role'][0] == 'administrator' )
				$role = 'level_8';
				
			if ( $value['role'][0] == 'editor' )
				$role = 'level_7';
				
			if ( $value['role'][0] == 'author' )
				$role = 'level_2';
				
			if ( $value['role'][0] == 'contributor' )
				$role = 'level_1';
				
			if ( $value['role'][0] == 'subscriber' )
				$role = 'level_0';
				
			if ( current_user_can( $role ) )
				return true;
			
			return false;
		}

Maybe give it a better solution with WP core?
Thanks for your help to see my probleme and read my bad english.

best wishes
