I'm trying to grant the user role 'editor' to have access to the Users top-level menu, and then control which sub-menus they have access to. The add_action lives in the _construct method.

add_action( 'admin_menu', array( $this, 'action_admin_menu' ) );

public function action_admin_menu() {
        $edit_contributor = get_role( 'editor' );
        $edit_contributor->add_cap( 'edit_users' );
    }

I'm expecting the Users menu to appear for an Editor, but it's not working.

I am not claiming this is a canonical list but the user related capabilities I see are:

  • add_users
  • create_users
  • delete_users
  • edit_users
  • list_users
  • promote_users
  • remove_users

I got this working with only list_users and edit_users. I did test all combinations of those, just a few obvious ones. Of course, you may want more capabilities than that.

  • What hook did you use: admin_menu or admin_init? The editor had access to the Users menu?

  • Ah, nevermind, this was a caching issue.

  • I didn't use a hook. I used a plugin to mess with the capabilities. Sorry, I thought the issue was only with "which capability" not with the broader hook function.
