How granular should the permission system get?

The three-layer model (WP caps → space roles → trust levels) is powerful. The risk is configurability becoming overwhelming.

Where is the line between flexible and confusing? I would rather have good defaults than a hundred toggles.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.
