Protect User 1 From Being Edited/Deleted
For emersonfab.com I needed to create a user account that could add other users, etc. I created a role 'admin' and gave that role 'Administer Users' access. But the default setup allowed a user in the admin role to delete user number 1 - ME! Not cool.
The Protect Critical Users module sets protection such that users 0 (anonymous), 1 (admin) and the current user can not be deleted. This saves both the administrator and users from themselves.
