README file for the Role Delegation Drupal module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
This module allows site administrators to grant some roles the authority to
|
|
assign selected roles to users, without them needing the 'administer
|
|
permissions' permission.
|
|
|
|
For each role, Role Delegation provides a new 'assign <ROLE> role' permission to
|
|
allow the assignment of that role.
|
|
|
|
The module also adds an 'assign all roles' permission. Enabling this permission
|
|
for a role is a convenient way to allow the assignment of any other role without
|
|
having to check all the 'assign <ROLE> role' permissions in the Permissions
|
|
page.
|
|
|
|
If an administrator has the 'administer users' permission, a role assignment
|
|
widget gets displayed in the account creation or editing form. Otherwise, if he
|
|
has at least the 'access user profiles' permission, the module adds its own
|
|
'Roles' tab to the user profile so that roles can be assigned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
1. Extract the 'role_delegation' module directory, including all its
|
|
subdirectories, into your Drupal modules directory.
|
|
|
|
2. Go to the Administer > Site building > Modules page, and enable the module.
|
|
|
|
3. Go to the Administer > User management > Permissions and scroll down to
|
|
the role_delegation group of permissions. Each role now has a corresponding
|
|
'assign <ROLE> role' permission. Grant this permission to roles that shall have
|
|
the power to assign role ROLE to users.
