[wp-hackers] Cannot figure this out: user_has_cap

[John Blackbourn]

Are you logged in as a super admin on multisite? The user_has_cap filter
doesn't get called in that situation.

My User Switching plugin has a nice bit of documentation with its callback
functions for this filter and the corresponding map_meta_cap filter, which
may help you. See here and here:
