Group Leader – edit_users

    Hi, I’ve used the Roles Editor functionality to remove the ability for Group Leaders to edit_users. However, this keeps returning which is a concern, especially as Group Leaders seem to be able to see users outside of their Group (a GDPR concern for me).

    Any ideas why this is happening and how I can make it stop?

    Hi @isowise,

    Do you have a different plugin that created and uses the Group Leading functionality? I’m asking this since our plugin (Profile Builder) doesn’t have this Group (Group Leaders) functionality.

    Most likely the plugin that manages that functionality is overwriting the changes you’re making within the Roles Editor (the changes you’re making to their user role).

    Note: I’ve also tried on my WP Instance where I mostly have only the Profile Builder plugin, and I was able to successfully remove certain capabilities for existing user roles without having them appear again (refreshed the page, logging from a different browser, etc).

    Best regards,

    Yes, I’m using Learndash which uses the Group Leader functionality. It doesn’t reappear immediately, but it does periodically (probably when I update the Learndash plugin?).

    Is there any CSS or Snippets I could add which would remove the ‘User to Edit’ dropdown completely? I’m happy for it to be removed from the front end for all user types as the Admin can do this work in the backend.

    Hi @isowise,

    You should be able to hide the User to Edit select field while using the following CSS code:

    #select_user_to_edit_form p{
    display: none !important;
    }

    Wonderful, thanks for that.
