@ Eric Marden and to all

Role and capabilities are working great in my plugin, so the issue is not
there.

The issue is introduced by the new 2.7 menu organisation.

In a submenu associated with a WP existing main menu.
    * The access to the submenu is ok for a specific role
    * The access of the main menu file (*.php) is ko for that role

The Main menu and its submenu is displayed.

Clicking on the submenu retrieves the following message

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page

set by the main menu file (*.php) ... because the test 'current_user_can' is
made BEFORE the call to the plugin page ....


I believe this is a bug !!!
