Possible bug for admin users in Multisite configuration

    Hi,

    I think there is a litte bug in UM :)… I’m a “super adminitrator” of a multisite install and I have added an Admin in the sub site where UM is running.
    He can do every thing that an admin can do in the admin interface except the fact that he can’t do anything (in the page “wp-admin/users.php”) with users in the back-office (no possibility to approved, modify, reject, delete, etc.) . He always have a message telling him he don’t have sufficient rights to do that.
    But if he used the front-end interface he can do every operations available on the front end:)…

    I don’t know if it’s linked to a multisite configuration or not, I let you the care to investigate ;)…

    Is there’s a hook problem ?

    TIA.

    Amicably,

    Pierre.

    Hi Pierre,

    So an admin (not super admin) who can’t manage users, can manage them on frontend? Did you give them UM “can edit everyone”” permission?

    Thanks

    If they are UM admin role they can edit any user unless you specify which roles they can edit.

    Thanks!

    Ok, not sure to understand…
    You mean that, by default, a user sets as admin in WP (and so in UM) can edit any user. It’s exactly what I thought until I did the test by myself :)…
    I can confirm that an admin user in WP can’t edit users in backoffice (at least on my website) :(…

    No solution ?

    TIA.

    I’ve just made an other test and the only possibility for my normal admin to be able to edit an user in the back office, is to promote him as “super-admin” from my parent website…

    A thing that I don’t want to do :(…

    TIA,

    My configuration is :
    One website parent and some childs websites.
    One (and only one) of my children website use UM (not the parent website).
    Me, as “super-admin” have added an user as admin in this children website (the one where I use UM) and, in spite of numerous tests, this user (for test purpose, me logged with this normal admin account) can’t edit any user.

    Are you admin or “super-admin” ?? ?

    TIA,

    Pierre
