# User cannot access backend

 * I need to create an ‘admin’ who can only manage users (except those with admin
   roles), and nothing else.
 * I created a role with those capabilities (add/edit users) – but when he tries
   to sign in via the backend, there’s a ‘You do not have sufficient permissions
   to access this page’ error immediately after logging in. I’m sure I’m missing
   something!
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * ‘read’ capability is required one to have access to the WordPress backend.
