Great, but you cannot edit Admin users

    We have to give some users Administrator level, so they can use the site thru a Coming soon area. The problem is, I cannot disable them from seeing certain features, not even with this plugin.

    Everything is greyed out.

    Why is that?

    Capabilities granted through the role are shown at the User’s capabilities page as disabled by design. You can not revoke them at the user level.
    If you need user with the less permissions you have to grant him another role, not ‘administrator’ one.

    If some plugin uses ‘administrator’ role directly, it should not. It should use user capability, not a role when define its admin menu.
    WordPress built-in current_user_can() function is made for work with capabilities, not the roles.
