 * I have a particular problem to solve. I created a community with plugin **BuddyPress**.
   All it’a ok. I must manage the ‘**Profile Fields**‘. I do normally it because
   i’ve the **administrator** role. This community is not open. Each member must
   request to be part of it with a registration module. When i receive the request
   i contact the potential member for acquiring of all data that i need. The member
   must be registered from the wordpress dashboard by a person of my team. The person
   who must register the member has a role of **Author**. To obtain my goal i used
   yours great plugin ‘User Role Editor’. I want that my **Author** view/edit only
   Posts, CPT, Media, and Users. So i’ve created a new role based on **Administrator**
   called ‘**authoradvanced – Advanced Author**‘. At this point i removed all extra
   capabilities of an **Adiminstrator**. All is ok, but when i deselected ‘**manage_options**‘
   capability the new role can’t modify ‘**Profile Fields**‘ because the message
   returned is ‘Non puoi modificare l’utente richiesto . (italian, sorry)’. At this
   point i tryed to add a new privilege called ‘**edit_profile_fields**‘. In this
   way i can edit ‘**Profile Fields**‘ but for the only user that manages the new
   BuddyPress members. Again he can’t edit the ‘**Profile Fields**‘ of the other
   users created from him. I hope to be clear. I tried another privilege called ‘**
   manage_profile_fields**‘ but nothing happens.
 * How I solve this problem?
 * P.S. – The new ‘Advanced Author’ role doesn’t must have the capability of ‘manage_options’.
 * These are the only granted capabilities:
    copy_posts create_users delete_others_posts
   delete_posts delete_private_posts delete_published_posts edit_others_posts edit_others_s
   edit_posts edit_private_posts edit_profile_fields edit_published_posts edit_s
   edit_users list_users manage_categories manage_links manage_profile_fields moderate_comments
   publish_posts publish_s read read_private_pages read_private_posts read_private_s
   unfiltered_html unfiltered_upload upload_files
 * custom capabilities:
    copy_posts edit_others_s edit_profile_fields – new added
   edit_s manage_profile_fields – new added publish_s read_private_s
