 Every logged in user can spy out the metadata of all other users by typing
 in the URL /wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=XXX irrespective if he has the
 right to do this or not. If not in fact there will be shown the error
 message "You do not have permission to edit this user." but after that
 message the complete form with all data will also be shown.
