[wp-xmlrpc] XML-RPC and Roles

[Hessam Armandehi]

Dear Eric,

Thanks for the tip. I tried the Role Scoper. It seems the user needs to have
"edit_published_posts" and "edit_others_posts" permissions to get access to
XML-RPC responses. True? I tried it on the original Wordpress Android app. I
couldn't fetch the posts with Author role since it has no
"edit_others_posts" permission. If it's true, what do you suggest then?

Best,
/Hessam
