Let Site Admins Edit Their Own Site's Users
Allows site administrators to edit the profiles of users who belong to their site, which multisite normally reserves for super admins.

Code
if ( ! is_multisite() ) {
return;
}
add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', function ( $caps, $cap, $user_id, $args ) {
if ( 'edit_user' !== $cap || empty( $args[0] ) || is_super_admin( $user_id ) ) {
return $caps;
}
$target = (int) $args[0];
$blog = get_current_blog_id();
if ( $target === (int) $user_id || is_super_admin( $target ) || ! user_can( $user_id, 'promote_users' ) ) {
return $caps;
}
if ( is_user_member_of_blog( $target, $blog ) && 1 === count( get_blogs_of_user( $target ) ) ) {
return array( 'edit_users' );
}
return $caps;
}, 10, 4 );Notes
Site admins can never edit super admins or users who belong to other sites as well, because profile changes are network-wide.
