Administrator role missing

Go to the Network Admin->Options->User Role Editor->General and turn ON “Show ‘Administrator’ role” checkbox.
URE protects by default ‘administrator’ role and users with ‘administrator’ role from each other.

I have this turned on. And still no admin role shows up.

Thanks. You are right. I re-viewed the code and confirm:
‘administrator’ role is protected by default from single site administrators under WP multisite and this protection is not switched off by checkbox at the URE Settings, as it works for the single site installation.

You may switch ‘administrator’ role protection using custom filter ‘ure_supress_administrators_protection’, just return TRUE from it, like here:

add_filter( 'ure_supress_administrators_protection', 'ure_supress_admin_protection', 10, 1);
function ure_supress_admin_protection( $supress ) {
  return true;
}

Thanks! Dumb question, does the filter go in the user-role-editor.php file?

Filter code should go to the active theme functions.php file or you may add it as as a separate .php file to the wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder as a Must Use plugin.

This has been tremendously helpful. Thanks Vladimir.
