Filters whether to allow administrators on Multisite to edit every user.

## 󠀁[Description](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/enable_edit_any_user_configuration/?output_format=md#description)󠁿

Enabling the user editing form via this filter also hinges on the user holding the‘
manage_network_users’ cap, and the logged-in user not matching the user profile 
open for editing.

The filter was introduced to replace the EDIT_ANY_USER constant.

## 󠀁[Parameters](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/enable_edit_any_user_configuration/?output_format=md#parameters)󠁿

 `$allow`bool

Whether to allow editing of any user. Default true.
