Is it possible to set WYSIWYG for a specific role to use?

Right now, it's popping up on comment fields and forum posts, which gives access to any old user.

My workaround was the classic Better Formats module, so I'd like to change this to a feature request and hope this isn't a duplicate.

This is out of scope for Wysiwyg module as it has a 1:1 relationship with the input formats and are meant to be available where ever the format is. The editors and formats should after all be configured so all features enabled on the editor is also supported by the format. So if you wish to limit the use of an editor to only some user's because they shouldn't have access to some buttons etc, what you're really looking for is limiting access to the input format. The Better Formats module is indeed best suited for this. So "by design" on this one.

Sometimes you might want to limit access to the editor because it's often in the way, but on some occasions it might be handy, and the same input is allowed on all the textareas in question. If that's the case we've got an issue about using more intelligent logic for when the editor is enabled or not.
