 * I installed role editor on a test site to play with. I created a role that had
   create and edit user capabilities. I signed in with that role and it let me assign
   a user as an administrator.
 * I only want an Administrator to have the ability to designate other Administrators.
 * How do I prevent a user role from assigning the Administrator role to new or 
   existing users?

 * URE excludes ‘administrator’ role from the drop-down list of available roles 
   for any user without ‘ure_manage_options’ capability or ‘manage_network_plugins’(
   multi-site installation) capability.
 * Check if you did not grant ‘ure_manage_options’ to this user.
