Role unable to edit user unless they have

[tanner]

A user with edit_user capabilities is unable to edit another user without ure_manage_options. It’s easy enough to turn ure_manage_options on so they can edit a another user, but the problem is now they’re given URE capabilities and the link to edit capabilities per user: https://imgur.com/a/Tukp3I4.

Can you please remove the strict association of ure_manage_options to the ability to edit a user? I know ure_manage_options needs edit_users but edit_users does not need ure_manage_options. Right now the behavior isn’t even consistent because I can turn off ure_manage_options and leave edit_users still checked.

Such strict association does not exist. Any user with ‘list_users’, ‘edit_users’ can edit any other user except users with ‘administrator’ role.

Check if you applied to this role some additional restrictions – via “Other roles access” add-on, for example. Deactivate ALL URE’s add-ons for testing or even
deactivate URE and re-test. ‘ure_manage_options’ will not work at last case.

I’ve been fiddling with the settings all night and the issue disappeared. I’m wondering if it has to do with the other bug report I submitted. If I can reproduce it I’ll submit another ticket, otherwise you can close this. I have supress_protection turned on as well so it’s possible that I was trying to edit a user with the administrator role.

OK.
