# Role cannot edit other profiles?

 * I created a new ultimate member user role “worker”. I want this role to be able
   to edit other users in the “member” role but not their own profile.
 * In the role editor for “worker” I have:
    Can edit other member accounts? YES 
   Can edit these user roles only MEMBERS Can edit their profile? NO
 * However if I login with a user under the “worker” role and view a member profile,
   they cannot edit that profile. There is a link to “Edit Profile” but clicking
   on it does not bring up an editable form.
 * IF I change the “worker” user role setting “Can edit their profile?” to YES now
   they can edit other users in the “member” role.
 * This seems like a bug unless I’m misunderstanding how the settings are supposed
   to work.

 * Hi,
 * This is probably a bug caused by a very specific use case. We’ll have a look 
   at this and see if we can fix for one of the next updates.
 * Thanks
