Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Multiple Roles

Anyone with the promote_users capability. By default, that means only administrators and network administrators on multi-site.
If you're a network administrator on a multi-site setup, yes, you can edit your roles in sites of that network. Otherwise, no. This is how WordPress works normally too.
It's underneath the default profile stuff, under the heading "Permissions". If you still can't find it, you might be on your own profile page, or you might not have the promote_users capability.
Sure. The user will still be able to log in and out, but won't be able to access any admin screens or see private pages. However, the user will still be able to see the WP Toolbar by default, which displays links to the Dashboard and Profile screens, so clicking on those will result in seeing a permission error.
