Editor of any given sub-site is seeing ALL the users from ALL the sites

    The problem: the Editor of any given sub-site is seeing ALL the users from ALL the sites in the Admin > Users list, including all the users of the main site. I only want the sub-site Editor to see users/members of that sub-site, not all users from all sites.

    I’ve assigned the Editor role to the sub-site admin and given that role the following capabilities via the Role Manager plugin so they can manage their members:

    * create_users
    * add_users
    * edit_users
    * list_users
    * promote_users

    My goal is to have the site Editor to simply be able to manage their own members.

    Should I change the capabilities, or is there a plugin that will limit the users viewed to a specific sub-site?

    I’m using the S2Member plugin, but this issue seems to go beyond that since it is occurring on sub-sites where S2Member is not activated.

    I see the following plugins, but it seems they don’t do what I need (they seem to apply more to user registration on a per site basis, but not which users are visible to each site admin…although perhaps one of these plugins enables management of users per site by assigning them to a specific site, but I don’t want to have to go into hundreds of users across dozens of sites to do this…):

    • More-Privacy-Options
    • Network-Privacy
    • Limit-Blogs-Per-User (maybe)

    Please advise.

    WP3.0.3 multisite, using S2 Member on sub-site and main site.

    Something’s gotta be going on with your plugins, becasue ALL the users in the network are not visible on ALL the sites – unless they are added as users to that site.

    So – out of the box, naked, it doesn’t do this. In fact, it’s a complaint that Admins of the subsites can’t see the user listing. ?? So it’s one or more of your plugins. turn ’em off.

    Thanks. After removing all of the plugins I figured out which one it was. I have ‘multisite-user-management” plugin installed, and didn’t really know how it worked. I think I have it now, thanks.
