According to this link, it seems like this is part of WordPress core. Surely there must be some way to enable user management by admin without making them a super admin.
OK, it looks like I was wrong. If “manage_network_users” is enabled, the administrator can edit the WordPress user profile but NOT the BuddyPress extended profile. So, the question is: how can this be enabled in BuddyPress?
Ok, I think I’ve managed to fix this by creating a new role in functions.php that has the bp_moderate capability.
The code looks like this in functions.php
$result = add_role( 'project_admin', __('Project Admin' ),
array(
'read' => true, // true allows this capability
'edit_posts' => true, // Allows user to edit their own posts
'edit_pages' => true, // Allows user to edit pages
'edit_others_posts' => true, // Allows user to edit others posts not just their own
'create_posts' => true, // Allows user to create new posts
'manage_categories' => true, // Allows user to manage post categories
'publish_posts' => true, // Allows the user to publish, otherwise posts stays in draft mode
'edit_themes' => false, // false denies this capability. User can’t edit your theme
'install_plugins' => false, // User cant add new plugins
'update_plugin' => false, // User can’t update any plugins
'update_core' => false, // user cant perform core updates
'edit_users' => true,
'create_users' => true,
'delete_users' => true,
'unfiltered_html' => true,
'bp_moderate' => true
)
);
