Prevent a specific role user to edit other users’ settings

Hello,

I want to prevent a specific role user (which has some admin rights, let’s say moderator) to edit other users’ settings like changing email and password. Is there any way to do that with a hook in functions.php?

Thanks for any help!

Yes, that is possible by removing the following capabilities from the role:

edit_users
create_users
delete_users

Once it is removed from the role then users from that particular role will not be able to create/edit/delete users.

Please follow this link: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_cap

Thanks
