Thanks for your help anyway. Sounds like the ‘edit_users’ fix is straight-forward enough so hopefully that will mean it appears a not-too-distant release.

Any finer-grained control over capabilities that avoids having to grant manage_options is a plus in my book. Helps a lot in locking down site security.

That didn’t work either I’m afraid. Opening the extended profile returns “You cannot edit the requested user.”

Is there a way of granting just bp_moderate, without manage_options? I couldn’t see that listed as a cap (as viewed through the ‘Members’ plugin).

Yeah, that doesn’t give access to the extended profile unfortunately, only the ‘standard’ profile, or whatever you call it.
