Thanks for the help. I found the issue. I have to allow the user to add_users and also activate it on their admin menu. Once I did that the “howdy, username” came back to the admin bar. Prior to the update I did not have to. Not a big deal, I can live with that 🙂 thanks!
Ran all tests. Seems a little buggy. Works sometimes but not every time. Sometimes when the user clicks on appearance they can see other options that are supposed to be blocked.
