hide one or more admin accounts from all other roles/users

Hi @nreljed

You can use role level so other user can’t edit higher level role => https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/how-to-block-wordpress-users-from-creating-higher-level-users/

Hello @rizaardiyanto and happy new year
I managed to make the code work I had not copied and pasted well

//* Hide this administrator account from the users list
add_action('pre_user_query','site_pre_user_query');
function site_pre_user_query($user_search) {
	global $current_user;
	$username = $current_user->user_login;
 
	if ($username == 'admin') {
	}
 
	else {
	global $wpdb;
    $user_search->query_where = str_replace('WHERE 1=1',
      "WHERE 1=1 AND {$wpdb->users}.user_login != 'admin'",$user_search->query_where);
  }
}

//* Show number of admins minus 1
add_filter("views_users", "site_list_table_views");
function site_list_table_views($views){
   $users = count_users();
   $admins_num = $users['avail_roles']['administrator'] - 1;
   $all_num = $users['total_users'] - 1;
   $class_adm = ( strpos($views['administrator'], 'current') === false ) ? "" : "current";
   $class_all = ( strpos($views['all'], 'current') === false ) ? "" : "current";
   $views['administrator'] = '<a href="https://projectdmc.org/support/topic/hide-one-or-more-admin-accounts-from-all-other-roles-users/users.php?role=administrator" class="' . $class_adm . '">' . translate_user_role('Administrator') . ' <span class="count">(' . $admins_num . ')</span></a>';
   $views['all'] = '<a href="users.php" class="' . $class_all . '">' . __('All') . ' <span class="count">(' . $all_num . ')</span></a>';
   return $views;
}

but that does not change the fact that it will be great if it was supported directly in a scenario where we would like for example to also hide editor and admin roles from authors etc.
in your link it talks about publishpres Permissions things that I don’t understand since capabilities already does by default what I want, my client role editor does not have the right to create higher roles or admin.
we would ideally just to allow this kind of hide in capabilities directly in the plugin . since it already does what Permissions does

it would be counter-productive and illogical to install two plugins to perform this single action
publishpress capabilities replaces my ex role editor plugin very well, he just need more.. Capabilities 🙂
