@John hi there, I’ve been busy, I’ve created a plugin to do this for you – https://github.com/Venutius/bp-devolved-authority I’d love it if you could give it a try.
This allows selected roles to manage the various aspects of BP without needing ‘manage_options’ capability. The role would need to have ‘edit_posts’. Also the role to manage members should have the ‘list_users’ capability.
This grants this ability on the front end and on the backend. I think it provides the basic functionality but is likely to need some tweaks with regards to the front end features.
