Tell us what you are trying to do?
I need to let Shop managers edit some user custom fields for other users.

If I change role for the user to Administrator I then see effectively the fields.

Also enabling through Toolset Access all the capabilities for this role nothing happens.

There is any custom capability to enable that manages the possibility of editing own and others user custom meta fields?
Thanks

Carlo

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

I tested this on a clean install and I could not reproduce the issue. After adding the "edit_users" and "create_users" permissions to the Shop Manager role, the shop managers become able to create and edit users. They are also able to edit the Toolset user fields.

You can log into my test site, as an administrator, with the following URL hidden link

And you can test using one of the shop managers:
- manager / manager@123
- manager2 / manager@123

This being said, I suspect that you did not enable the user fields for all the roles that you want to target.

If this does not help, please allow me temporary access to your website to check this closely. Your next reply will be private to let you share credentials safely. ** Make a database backup before sharing credentials. **
