How to allow specific role to register new users in front end forms?

  • Is there a way to turn on the ability for front end forms to be used for registering multiple different users?

    I have a situation where the site has a specific role similar to admin, but without typical access to the admin back end. It’s purpose is for them to manage various front end functionality. One of those functions is adding a specific type of user with it’s own custom role. (It’s a private directory and the custom role is for representatives of the organization listed in the directory)

    I have a front end form for registering new users, but it always updates the user account of the person completing it, rather than creating a new account. This form will be part of a custom dashboard for this user role and protected behind the login.

    I can work out the form and roles ok, but I can’t find any reference to changing the default behavior of WP to assume the logged in user is updating their own profile.

    Can this be done?
