- 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, and bulk
- add/remove role operations become available on the user administration page.
- Otherwise, if s/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.
