Problem/Motivation

Currently users with the administer users permission and permissions to assign only specific roles are able to remove/cancel users that have roles not-assignable by them, which is not ideal.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create one or more non-administrator roles
  2. Add one or more users with only non-administrator roles assigned
  3. Add a role with permission to assign the non-administrator roles and the administer users permission
  4. Add a non-administrator user with the role with role assignment and administer users permissions
  5. Add at least 2 users with the administrator role
  6. Login with the non-administrator user with role assignment and administer users permissions
  7. Notice that this user has access to cancel all user accounts except user #1, even though other users with the administrator role not assignable by the role delegation user exist.

Proposed resolution

Require role-assign permissions for all of the roles assigned to a user to be able to access the delete operation (cancel/remove) for user entities.
