 * Hi, I’ve just set up a new role called Staff. I want members with that role to
   be able to delete other users if necessary. So I’ve Granted ‘Delete Users’ capability
   to the Staff role. However I don’t want anyone with the Staff role to be able
   to delete me i.e. someone with the Administrator role. I haven’t tested this 
   _in case it works_ which would lock me out!
