 * Hi,
 * Can any user with full admin privileges (ALL capabilities turned on) be hidden
   from other users with admin privileges (with comparatively lesser capabilities
   turned on) in the ‘Users’ area (list_users) and Role editor user listing? I want
   to create a sort of hierarchy of administrator roles and users, where the user
   with the top admin role with ALL capabilities should be _hidden_ (or at least
   undeletable, unremovable and uneditable) from other users with lesser admin roles
   and capabilities – in the ‘Users’ area. Is this possible with “User Role Editor”?
 * Regards.

 * Hi,
 * With similar idea in the mind I added to the Pro version the ‘Other roles access’
   add-on. It allows to block/hide selected roles from current role. Such roles 
   becomes not available at WordPress roles drop-down lists, users with these roles
   are not shown at the users list for user with role, to which these restrictions
   are applied.

 * Is there any chance of this add-on getting added to the free version? 🙂
