 * Hi,
 * Your last update fixed the login issue, thanks.
 * How can I remove the “access” link from a user I have restricted page access 
   to them?

 * Hi **napleswebguy**,
 * Apparently your user has Administrator role assigned. In this way you would have
   to overwrite default AAM capability that grands access to manage access settings.
 * In order to do so, follow these few simple steps:
 * 1. Go to AAM Capabilities tab and create a new unique capability. For example**
   manage_aam** or **access_aam** (it can be any capability you desire);
    2. Make
   sure that this capability is checked for your user but unchecked for any other
   Administrator user; 3. Go to Extensions tab and download ConfigPress extension;
   4. After it is installed successfully go to AAM ConfigPress tab and enter next
   config (replace manage_aam with whatever capability you created in the step #
   1): **[aam] page.capability = “manage_aam”
 * Please let me know if any questions.
    Regards,

 * Since I’m not the first to want to edit another admin user access, any plans 
   to make it easier to do this?

 * **napleswebguy**,
 * It is a great question.
 * We try to keep AAM UI as leaner as possible. That is why we apply 80/20 rule 
   approach to our features. If more than 20% of questions and feedback is about
   some feature, than we add it to UI. Otherwise it goes to ConfigPress configuration.
   So in most cases ConfigPress is just a middle stage for new feature.
 * At this point your feature was request very few times but things can change at
   any time.
 * Thank you for your interest in AAM.
    Regards, Vasyl
