Shouldn't the plugin, by default, add chatterblock.user to the logged-in 
member group?  Seems this would handle 99% of the users a step...and you 
can do this all via SQL/PHP in the install/uninstall script with no need 
to mess with the editor.

A good example of this is most plugins I write usually have  new group 
associated with them with all privileges assigned to that group.  I think 
assign that group to Root so, sensibly, root users automatically have the 
rights needed but can be configured in the future otherwise if desired.

I addressed this in my post above...
