Clarion Technologies on "Custom Post Type Capability Requirements"

We have a custom post type for posting public files, and we need it to be accessible by everyone, from "Subscriber" to "Administrator", I tried setting the
"capability_type" => "post",
line from post to read, but all that did was make it disappear from the backend.

Is there an easy way of making a post type publically available to all?

Hello kjgbriggs

Please try Using plugin "Members". It gives you the ability to create new roles and edit existing roles, as well as add custom capabilities.
