 * Hello,
 * I want to deactivate the plugin as I don’t really need it but as an admin I cannot
   change user roles the normal way from the edit user page anymore.
 * Only if I activate the plugin and from the users list, click “capabilites” under
   the user’s name and then I can change his role through the settings of this plugin.
 * Why does this happen? I don’t understand. Any advise?
