# Adding "remove_users" Capability

 * I am using the following code to allow “Editors” to manage users, but I need 
   to prevent “Editors” from removing or demoting “Admins”:
 *     ```
       $editor_role = get_role('editor');
       $editor_role->add_cap('list_users');
       $editor_role->add_cap('create_users');
       $editor_role->add_cap('remove_users');
       $editor_role->add_cap('promote_users');
       ```
   
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Kind regards
