Reply To: Custom User Edit Page

[Vladimir]

Hi,
It’s possible to hide ‘Edit’ link under every user row at users.php and block access to user profile editing adding this code to functions.php of active theme:

add_filter('user_row_actions', 'custom_user_row_actions', 10, 2);
function custom_user_row_actions($actions, $user) {
    
    if (current_user_can('user-manager')) {
        unset($actions['edit']);
    }
    
    return $actions;
}

add_action('admin_head', 'custom_block_user_profile', 101);
function custom_block_user_profile() {
        
    $url = strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    if (strpos($url, 'user-edit.php')===false) {
        return;
    }
    if (!current_user_can('user-manager')) {
        return;
    }
    
    $url = admin_url() .'/users.php';
    if (headers_sent()) {
?>
<script>
    document.location.href = '<?php echo $url; ?>';
</script>    
<?php
            die;
        } else {
            wp_redirect($url);
        }
}

So it seems that task was resolved as users.php has a “Grant Roles” button. But I discovered a problem here with your help. Thanks. User without ‘ure_manage_options’ capability can not use “Grant Roles” button. He will get “Not enough permissions” error message on a try to change user’s roles. It’s really wrong.

So I have to update base version of ‘User Role Editor’ to fix this issue. Let’s wait a next update – about a week.
