Custom Post Type and Admin Menus / User Roles

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a WordPress site and I have 2 different types of custom post types

I have a custom plugin in the backend and I have a few custom user roles defined where dependant on the user level, they can view different subsections of this plugin.

I want to set it up so that my different user roles have the ability to add a certain type of custom post… I don’t want to give them access to the base post object though…

So my question is can I set it up so the custom post is a “child” or “subsection” of my plugin’s admin menu, or can I set up a custom user role so they can have the ability to create those post types?

Thanks,
