The custom user capabilities Coupon Creator registers for the coupon post type, and which roles receive them.
Coupons use a mapped capability type (cctor_coupon / cctor_coupons) rather than the generic edit_posts set, so you can grant coupon access independently of regular posts. Capabilities are added to the default roles once, on activation, and a flag option (cctor_coupon_capabilities_register) prevents them from being re-added.
