create_users capabilities on a role on multisite

I ran into the same problem. It’s easily solved by going into the Network Admin > Settings page. Look for the label “Add New Users” and make sure this option is checked: Allow site administrators to add new users to their site via the “Users → Add New” page.

Once you do this, the local admin will be able to add users. This is assuming they also have the capabilities list_users and create_users. I recommend this full list of related user capabilities be given:

  • list_users
  • create_users
  • promote_users
  • edit_users
  • remove_users
  • delete_users
