Options To Manage Users Access To Other Users

I understand you are quite busy but this site is at a stand still until I can complete the updates to the AAM plugin. Until I am able to prevent my admin role from begin deleted by other users, and am able to remove the “manage options” link from the users list I won’t be able to add the other users and move forward.

If you could please tell me which would be the better option to do this, either ConfigPress or purchasing the Role Filter, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Rachel,
Have you tried to remove edit users and delete users capabilities to other admins? Or to the new manager role?

Same here, i don’t want that users other that admin can see the AAM options text under the user list…

because they can click on in and show the are being denied,

I don’t want them to know that the are being denied of using a new plugin.

what i do is to roll back to the 2.8 version every time, and have to do the setting of the role again.

i even downloaded a plugin to stop the auto update and is not working.. can you please, tell me where i can hide it and also made an update that if the user role doesn’t have capabilities to manage AAM then they shouldn’t see the AAM option on the user list is kind of obvious.

@fmortara, I apologize I never got back with you. I didn’t receive an email about your response. I was removing certain capabilities to the new manager role. There is just my admin role and a manager role for the contact person for my client. I wanted to ensure with this new role that certain aspects of the site couldn’t be accessed to avoid her accidentally breaking the site, since I am maintaining it for my client. But at the same time I didn’t want her to know she was being denied certain aspects, so I wouldn’t have to go into lengthy explanations of what those are and why I felt it necessary to remove access. Best to leave well enough alone.

@quinque5, I began looking into other options for this since I couldn’t find any with the AAM plugin. I’m still using the new updated version, but what I did to hide the “manage access” link in the user roles list was add a bit of code to my functions.php file in the child theme, just some quick CSS to remove the link from visibility.
echo ‘<style type=”text/css”> div.row-actions span.aam a { visibility: hidden !important;}</style>’;

Basic, but it did the trick.

I also had to add other code to my functions.php file to hide other links and keep my role from being deleted since it is the main role and I am responsible for keeping the site up to date.

While I like AAM, some of the old features being removed and not enough documentation on getting some of those features added to the new updated version, and not knowing if using Config Press or purchasing the role filter extension would allow me to achieve what I needed, I had to find other options to achieve a similar outcome.

hi, thank you @rachelhkay for your response, as you.. i’m using it for the same issue and also to not give away to much info.

I tried that and it works, but it shows a conflict with a live chat plugin

i guess till AAM doesn’t address this, i will have to roll it back to the 2.8.5 version.
