Description
Fetch a filtered list of user roles that the current user is
allowed to edit.Simple function whose main purpose is to allow filtering of the
list of roles in the $wp_roles object so that plugins can remove
inappropriate ones depending on the situation or user making edits.
Specifically because without filtering anyone with the edit_users
capability can edit others to be administrators, even if they are
only editors or authors. This filter allows admins to delegate
user management.
