  1. README file for the Role Delegation Drupal module.
  2. Description
  3. ***********
  4. This module allows site administrators to grant some roles the authority to
  5. assign selected roles to users, without them needing the 'administer
  6. permissions' permission.
  7. For each role, Role Delegation provides a new 'assign <ROLE> role' permission to
  8. allow the assignment of that role.
  9. The module also adds an 'assign all roles' permission. Enabling this permission
  10. for a role is a convenient way to allow the assignment of any other role without
  11. having to check all the 'assign <ROLE> role' permissions in the Permissions
  12. page.
  13. If an administrator has the 'administer users' permission, a role assignment
  14. widget gets displayed in the account creation or editing form, and bulk
  15. add/remove role operations become available on the user administration page.
  16. Otherwise, if s/he has at least the 'access user profiles' permission, the
  17. module adds its own 'Roles' tab to the user profile so that roles can be
  18. assigned.
  19. Installation
  20. ************
  21. 1. Extract the 'role_delegation' module directory, including all its
  22. subdirectories, into your Drupal modules directory.
  23. 2. Go to the Administer > Site building > Modules page, and enable the module.
  24. 3. Go to the Administer > User management > Permissions and scroll down to
  25. the role_delegation group of permissions. Each role now has a corresponding
  26. 'assign <ROLE> role' permission. Grant this permission to roles that shall have
  27. the power to assign role ROLE to users.
