Hi Michael,
I don’t think you are having the same issue. Private pages is a feature in WordPress and ‘read_private_pages’ is a built-in capability.
For your issue, you just need to ‘Bulk Edit’ the extended permissions once you add a new role. This can be done is a few seconds. But the new roles will still have permissions enabled by default when you add them, this behavior can’t be changed.
Starting from v3.0 this behavior will be changed. You can set the permissions which will be inherited for new roles. There is a beta version available if you want to test it.
Thanks
Syam
