Hi,

I have created a custom user field group assigned to a specific user role.
I have another "User Admin" user role, which needs to access and edit that field for all the users.

Currently access has the option : "Modify own fields" and "View own fields in profile". The admin should be able to see and edit the values, but not the user.

Hi Adrian

You want a user with a role of "User Admin" to be able to edit the custom user fields of other users, but not to be able to edit the other users?

I'm not sure I have understood correctly because I don't see where or how you would be able to edit a field of a user without editing the user.

For a role to be able to edit a user you would need to go to Toolset > Access Control > Custom Roles and, with advanced mode enabled, change the permissions for that role and under general permissions enable "edit_users".

I don't think that is what you want, but could you please explain how you expect this to work?
