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' 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' 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' permission. Grant this permission to roles that shall have
the power to assign role ROLE to users.
