Does this mean that these BuddyPress menus will be available to single site admins if I assign them capability ‘manage_network_options’ (maybe, in addition to some other capabilities)? Or this means that these menus are never available to site admins?

Admin menu related to Privacy appeared once I selected ‘Privacy related (manage_privacy_options, export_others_personal_data, erase_others_personal_data)’ inside the ‘Additional Modules’ from network setting of URE.

‘Activity’, ‘Groups’, and ‘Site Notices’, however, did not appear even after following all of your recommendations. I have checked with only two plugins, viz., URE and BuddyPress and the default WordPress theme. But above admin menus from BuddyPress did not appear for Administrator role.

I updated to version 4.44.b1 and it seems to be working without any error. Thank you very much!

When can I expect this update in production version?

[pyushika]

Yes, it’s a multisite install. bbPress is activated on some single sites of the network. User Role Editor, however, is network activated.

Thanks!

It’s working beautifully; thank you very much!

You were so prompt in your replies that sometimes it felt like we were chatting. Much appreciated!
🙂

Thanks! But, it seems, there is a mistake in above code: both the arguments of add_filter() function are same.

Just now I stumbled upon a post where you have provided solution for a similar case. Here is the link. This post raises some doubt for me. Which code should I use? Also, is it sure that it will not be addressed in any of future updates? Will my mu-plugin not interfere with any such update in future.

Thanks!

Thanks for following up with the issue and providing a solution. I’m, however, not sure how to use it. I think this code will not go into functions.php because different sites are using different child theme (though currently of same parent theme).

Or, are you going to release an update sometimes soon? I can wait for few days.

Thanks!

No, our test user ‘andy’ has no superadmin privileges even there. Please see following screen shot.

1. There is no network admin options assigned to administrator role (which I have named as Site Admin).

2. Other Roles for administrator (Site Admin) is as in following image.

3. “Change role to” options available for administrator (Site Admin) are as shown in following image. Please notice the Super Admin (super_admin) role available as an option which I don’t want.

4. Name of super-admin role is Super Admin as shown in following image:

5. “Change role to” options available for super_admin (Super Admin) are as shown in following image. Please notice the Super Admin (super_admin) and Site Admin (administrator) roles are not available as an option which as desired.

6. Schoolers Admin (schoolers_admin) is another role copied from administrator role and assigned some extra capabilities.

7. “Change role to” options available for schoolers_admin (Schoolers Admin) are as shown in following image. Please notice the Super Admin (super_admin) and Site Admin (administrator) roles are not available as an option which as desired.

Thus, “Change role to” options are NOT as expected for administrator role only.

Please help!

Thanks!

WordPress built-in ‘administrator’ role is hidden from any drop-down list for single site administrators (without superadmin privilege) by default.

That’s good. But my problem is other way around. Users with ‘administrator’ role are capable of assigning superadmin role to self or to others.

If you wish to exclude another role(s) from access of user with ‘list_users’, ‘edit_users’ capabilities you can use “Block other roles access” add-on.

Thanks for pointing out this another wonderful feature of the plugin. I, however, failed to achieve what I need to even after trying this feature. Superadmin role is not being hidden from users having ‘administrator’ role. I, however, have created another role equivalent to ‘administrator’ role by copying its capabilities (and assigning few more) and superadmin role is being hidden from this new role.

May be I’m doing something wrong. Can you please look into it to point out what should I be doing to hide superadmin roles from users having administartor role?

Thanks!
