I didn’t get reports about incompatibility issues between URE and MUM yet.
With User Role Editor Pro you can follow this scenario:
1) add new user to the main site.
2) grant needed roles to this user.
3) open this user capabilities under the ‘Network admin -> Users -> All users’
You will see permissions which granted to him for the main site
Click “Update Network” button to add this user with the same roles and capabilities to all the rest subsites of your multisite network.

Roles and capabilities should exist at subsite in order to be granted to the new added user.
Use ‘Network admin -> Users -> User Role Editor -> Update Network’ to replicate all roles and capabilities from the main site to all the rest subsites of the network.

I think that following a scenario above you can do the same work as a MUM plugin offers according the quote you noted.

Pro version is built on the top of a free version and includes a copy of a free version as a core. Thus both free and Pro version use the same database record to same the settings you made. When you delete free version via WordPress options record was removed and Pro version had to start with default options.

Send administrator login credentials to the support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I will check your settings on-site.

Do you have any blocked menu items with ‘Admin Menu’ for a ‘contributor’ role? Show screenshot.

list_users capability allows access to the users list and search.
Just re-tested with single site WordPress – it works.

Thanks for letting me know that issue was resolved.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

In order to add/edit/delete users role should have at least these capabilities:
– list_users;
– edit_users;
– delete_users.

Hi Jakub,

You can use any permalink settings. A fact that you can use post/page ID to restrict its editing for user or role does not prevent to show that post/page to the public with user/SEO friendly permalink.

If you wish to set edit restriction for user automatically, it’s possible via this filter.

You can get current user login, built his landing page slug, find that page ID and return it from this filter as the only page which user is allowed to edit.

I never reported WordPress bugs yet. Look at this guide.
I did not find any bug which mention ‘new_role2’.
There will be no problem if you will not find if this bug is reported or not, I think. Moderator will do it, finally.

[Vladimir]

Yes, it’s definitely a WordPress bug. Look at wp-admin/network/site-users.php, from line #141:

if ( empty( $editable_roles[ $_REQUEST['new_role'] ] ) ) {
				wp_die( __( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to give users that role.' ) );
			}

But when you click ‘Change’ button from the bottom ‘new_role’ is empty, new role value is sent with ‘new_role2’ parameter. But ‘new_role2’ is never checked.

P.S. I will remove your posts with roles data as unrelated to the subject – data before and after are identical.

This is a video how it works at my test setup with all plugins deactivated.

It’s definitely not related to URE. I can just suppose that something is wrong with your installation.

You can send to suport [at-sign] role-editor.com a download link to your test installation database backup. I will try to repeat this issue at my local test environment, where I can debug it (if it will be repeated) to isolate a reason. Send me your test wp-config.php also.

[Vladimir]

Is any other plugin active?
Try do deactivate all plugins. If issue will not be repeated, activate theme back one by one to isolate a conflicting code.

[Vladimir]

I can not repeat this for any role from the list of built-in WordPress roles. I got such error message just for the situation I described above. When I select any role which exists for subsite then user’s role is changed as expected.

Deactivate URE and test. Will you get the same result? If YES, you will get the same error message, then some other plugin or theme can take effect.

[Vladimir]

Additional test showed that roles drop-down list opened for any subsite under “Network Admin -> Sites” shows a list of roles from the main site, not all roles from all subsites as I wrote above.
WordPress core does not takes into account here that roles list can be different between subsites. So if roles are not synchronized between subsites you can get such error message.

You have to remember that wordpress stores roles for subsites separately for every subsite.

I will look if it’s possible to fix this issue via a suitable hook.

[Vladimir]

My test showed that WordPress includes to the roles drop-down list here all roles from all subsites. I just added new role “Main site only” at the main site. Then went to ‘edit’ page of site selected via the “Network admin -> Sites”, and saw that role in drop-down list for subsite. It’s not correct, this is a WordPress bug possibly.
If you try to assign to a user a role from site 1 which does not exist at site B, then you will receive such error message: “Sorry, you are not allowed to give users that role.”. You can not assign to a user not existing (at this subsite) role.
