More then one administrative user…

    Are you using multisite?

    Multisite runs differently than single site (standard) WordPress. All users are network users and are then enabled for individual sites. So an administrator of a site in multisite does not have the ability to edit users (which is what they need to be able to activate users) unless they are a super administrator (admin at the network level).

    Yes, I’m running multisite, but your plugin isn’t network activated. I can not provide Super Admin access to the secondary user.

    but your plugin isn’t network activated.

    It’s not really a matter of whether it’s network activated or not. It’s a matter of user capability.

    In order to activate a user, the user activating that user must have the ‘edit_users’ capability assigned to the role. In multisite, the only role that has edit_users as a capability is the super admin role (as explained above).
