 * I am looking to create a secondary admin role where they can Add/edit/delete 
   users that are themselves and lower on the user hierarchy. I don’t want them 
   to be able to delete/edit super admin roles. Is this possible?

 * Hi [@msanielle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msanielle/)
 * Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.
 * You could do this by copy “Administrator” role as per: [https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/create-or-copy-user-roles/](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/create-or-copy-user-roles/)
 * Then give them role level to 9, which is one lower than Administrator. This will
   mean they can edit lower level user but cannot edit administrator.
 * Have you tried that?

 * Thanks so much for the response! 
   I’m not sure where “level 9” comes in, but 
   I created a similar Admin role (Admin2) and have set some basic pieces in. I 
   just want to protect myself so that should a client try to lock me out of the
   system without invoice payment, I still have access.I’m trying to upload a picture
   to show my settings, but I can’t seem to upload, just link.

   role, go to Advance tab:

 * Oh! I couldn’t figure out where that page was, but now I found it and have set
   it for 9. As long as they cannot edit/delete my user account, that is perfect.

 * [@msanielle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msanielle/) You could make use
   of User Testing feature: [https://publishpress.com/blog/capabilities/user-testing/](https://publishpress.com/blog/capabilities/user-testing/)
 * Try login as that role and see if you could edit your original account.
 * Hope that information helpful 🙂
