 Hi,

 I have make a fresh install, the only plugins activated is <a
 href="https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth">Basic-Auth</a> because i need
 to test from another server. (this is why Rest api is made for ;)

 I have create a new role (without plugin, only code) with only 1
 capability
 Here the result with "create_posts" capability

 {{{
 object(WP_Role)#421 (2) {
   ["name"]=>
   string(10) "client_api"
   ["capabilities"]=>
   array(1) {
     ["create_posts"]=>
     bool(true)
   }
 }
 {"code":"rest_cannot_create","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to
 create posts as this user."...}
 }}}

 the same call, with "edit_posts" capability

 {{{
 object(WP_Role)#421 (2) {
   ["name"]=>
   string(10) "client_api"
   ["capabilities"]=>
   array(1) {
     ["edit_posts"]=>
     bool(true)
   }
 }
 {"id":6,"date":"2017-07-06T14:29:22","date_gmt":"2017-07-06T14:29:22","guid":{"rendered":....}
 }}}

 As you see, the post is created with edit_posts capability...
