Manage Options Capability

    Why does the user NEED ‘Manage Options’ capability to approve new users? Manage Options gives the user access to Settings -> Changing Settings could change / compromise a website. Why is this used over something like “create_users” ?

    Kills my approach to limiting users to what they can and cannot do since I absolutely do not want my users to access Settings but do want some users to be able to approve memberships.

    You’re right. I will be removing the piece of code that limits this functionality. An update will be available later this week.

    Thanks for pointing this out.
