Mulitsite
Important – in order to have ability to setup updates automatically URE should be activated for the main blog of the network.
Some critical options were hidden from the “Multisite” tab for single site administrators. Single site admin should not have access to the options which purpose is to restrict him.
Attention! In case you decide to allow single site administrator activate/deactivate User Role Editor himself, setup this PHP constant at the wp-config.php file:
define(‘URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE’, 1);
Otherwise single site admin will not see User Role Editor in the plugins list after its activation. User Role Editor hides itself under multisite from all users except superadmin by default.
