Looks nice but doesn’t work as advertised.

This plugin doesn’t work. Simply disabling the plugin won’t help. Even after you uninstall this plugin your website will be broken forever. Do a backup before installing. Probably the worst plugin ever.

Great plugin.
One improvement suggestion: Make sure the labels match up to the checkboxes when selecting a user role, so you can click the label and the checkbox checks. You just need to wrap the text inside a [label for=”role_administrator”] html tag ??
