[wp-hackers] Custom post type capabilities, but needs 'edit_posts' as well?

[Alex Hempton-Smith]

Cheers Andrew,

I'm certainly getting somewhere but it's not quite working. I have the
following array in register_post_type

    'capabilities' => array(
 'edit_posts' => 'manage_finances',
'delete_posts' => 'manage_finances',
 'delete_published_posts' => 'manage_finances',
'publish_posts' => 'manage_finances',
 'edit_published_posts' => 'manage_finances'
),

So the user can view the post screen, but when a post is saved, the user is
directed to example.com/wp-admin/post.php with the message "You are not
allowed to edit this post." - although that cap has been added?

Any ideas?
