Promoting Other Users

    Now its all fine and dandy that you can control whether a person can edit posts and can access certain areas, but is there a way so that users cannot promote a level higher than their self.

    For example, if I use the role-manager plugin and give the Contributor the ability to edit other users, he can make an Administrator. How do I overcome this?

    Sorry if this was answered before. Any help would be great.

    Not to post again, but if someone posts this: “One particular Role should not be considered to be ‘senior to’ another Role.” from the codex,

    Then it would seem problematic to have multiple administrators given the ability to manage other users. Somebody must have a work around.

    Well I guess this is not something that somebody can help me with. Not having this feature is a huge drawback for CMS type websites, and I am currently in a crunch :).

    So basically going to write a plugin that will allow a user with a specified role && edit user capability the ability to only change (aka promote) specific roles to another role.

    Any feedback or thoughts for this plugin would be nice.
