If you have users on a “child” or “sub-site” and they have the standard WordPress “Administrator” role then they already have the “edit_users” capabilities as this comes with the “Administrator” role.
if you want to add the “edit_users” capability to a different role, which currently doesn’t have that capability then you can use a plugin to do this. you can have a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ which does this.
does that help, if not what are you trying to do ?
Hi, that’s strange. My “sub-site” Administrator was not able to “edit_users”.
ok re-reading the actual manual ..
https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#edit_users
it shows a network is slightly different to a single WP install on starting.
it shows that only the Super Admin has “edit_users” capability so yes your local sub-site admins won’t have any of the following, without being given them manually …
update_core
update_plugins
update_themes
install_plugins
install_themes
delete_themes
delete_plugins
edit_plugins
edit_themes
edit_files
edit_users
add_users
create_users
delete_users
unfiltered_html
be careful if you start adding any of these as they will give quite a bit of access to Network functions.
I think I forgot on my test site that the capabilities have been given manually already.
Thanks for your reply. Anyway that I can activate the “edit_users” with the plugin manually? Any code that I can add in? Thanks.
You can do it manually as I mentioned earlier, however, it’s nothing todo with this NSUR plugin. It will be standard WordPress with a different plugin.
I’ll mark this as resolved now, try ‘user role editor’ or another plugin.
