How a role can administer all users except admin role

By drupol on 8 May 2017 at 01:27 UTC

Hello,

I have a role "rinconadmin" which is different from administrator role.
I as administrator gave permission to role "rinconadmin" to administer all users. Under people > permission > users section, I selected "administer users and view user profiles" for "rinconadmin" roles.
When "rinconadmin" user logs in, he can see People in admin tool bar. People link displays list of all users including admin. I am not sure how to remove the admin link from that list. Now, rinconadmin can edit admin's credentials. I do not want that. I could not find any option to remove the admin from that list.

Please advise.

investigate https://www.drupal.org/project/userprotect to protect user 1 from being edited.

As far as removing/excluding uid 1 from the default list you will need custom code.

No need for custom code, it is a view

Change the condition to >=2 of the people view. Apply and Save. Admin (1) will be excluded from the list.

I did not create a view to generate the list of users. Under people > Permission: I selected below options for that role:

Use the administration toolbar
Administer users
View user profiles

After that, when I login as user of that role, I see People link. I am not sure where would I go to set the condition => 2. Please help.

understood, but you can create a view and override the default or use admin menu's override in which the condition will now be applicable.
