 * You cannot. That’s part of being admin. You may want to make them an editor instead.
   See [https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/)
 * Or you could create a new role, using one of the many [role and capability plugins](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/role+capability),
   that excludes user management.
