    I have tried allowing certain capabilities to contributor and author and I found that some of the capabilities were not working for them…

    for eg.. I allowed create_users for author and after logging in with author, I couldn’t even see the Users menu option…

    I also created a new role and assigned create_users and delete_users capabilities to it but when I logged in with that user role, I found that I can create the user but can’t delete it.

    Some of the capabilites are working for the roles and some not. This is with every role.

    User role editor is not working fine at all.. Please help

    The problem are related more to the list of capabilities you included into the role, not to the User Role Editor itself.

    For example, in order to see “Users” menu user should have ‘list_users’ capability.

    Start for the more capabilities. For example, create a copy of subscriber role. Add all “%_users” capabilities to it. Test. Then try to remove unneeded capabilities one by one and test/monitor what will be changed/happened.

    User Role Editor just changes roles. The rest is a work of WordPress itself and themes/plugins/custom code.

    Thank you Vladimir,

    I am verifying the above solution but i have one more query. I want to use user roles for custom made plugin but i don’t see my custom plugin in the list of capabilities.

    Please suggest on this.

    Plugin may use WordPress built-in capabilities. Share the download link for free plugin or send its copy to my e-mail in case it’s a paid product. I may check then, what user capabilities it uses to protect its menu.
