# Group Leader – edit_users

 * Hi, I’ve used the Roles Editor functionality to remove the ability for Group 
   Leaders to edit_users. However, this keeps returning which is a concern, especially
   as Group Leaders seem to be able to see users outside of their Group (a GDPR 
   concern for me).
 * Any ideas why this is happening and how I can make it stop?

 * Hi [@isowise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isowise/),
 * Do you have a different plugin that created and uses the Group Leading functionality?
   I’m asking this since our plugin (Profile Builder) doesn’t have this Group (Group
   Leaders) functionality.
 * Most likely the plugin that manages that functionality is overwriting the changes
   you’re making within the Roles Editor (the changes you’re making to their user
   role).
 * Note: I’ve also tried on my WP Instance where I mostly have only the Profile 
   Builder plugin, and I was able to successfully remove certain capabilities for
   existing user roles without having them appear again (refreshed the page, logging
   from a different browser, etc).
 * Best regards,

 * Yes, I’m using Learndash which uses the Group Leader functionality. It doesn’t
   reappear immediately, but it does periodically (probably when I update the Learndash
   plugin?).
 * Is there any CSS or Snippets I could add which would remove the ‘User to Edit’
   dropdown completely? I’m happy for it to be removed from the front end for all
   user types as the Admin can do this work in the backend.

 * Hi [@isowise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isowise/),
 * You should be able to hide the User to Edit select field while using the following
   CSS code:
 * `#select_user_to_edit_form p{
   display: none !important;}

 * Wonderful, thanks for that.
