# Cannot Edit User's Role

 * I am trying to edit a user’s Role.
 * If select a different role from the drop-down menu (when editing a user), I then
   click “Update User” at the bottom… the setting does not “stick”.
    When I reload
   the user, the Role is still in the original one.
 * When I de-activate iThemes Security, if i perform this edit again, the User’s
   Role changes as expected.
 * Any idea what could be going on?
    Maybe I changed a setting on iThemese Security
   I shouldn’t have changed?
 * I have installed s2Member, for providing different “membership levels” to this
   site.
 * All help is grately appreciated!
    Please let me know any additional information
   that could help with troubleshooting.
 * Thank you!

 * Set WP_DEBUG to true in wp-config.php and then retry.
    You might get to see a
   notice that could help.
 * Also make sure you are using the latest iTSec plugin release (4.6.12).

 * Thank you for your reply!
    Just confirmed that we are running Version 4.6.12
 * It will take me 10-12 hours to set the WP_DEBUG to true, and post back here.
 * As soon as I have that, I will post here.
    Thanks!
