Description
edit_user()
can also update user roles but is still using the edit_users
capability instead of the newer promote_users
capability introduced in [14176].
We have a similar role handling in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8.3/src/wp-admin/users.php?marks=96-97,121-128#L93 and should copy that to edit_user()
for consistency.
- Change
edit_users
topromote_users
