Module of the Week


Role Assign https://www.drupal.org/project/roleassign


RoleAssign specifically allows site administrators to further
delegate the task of managing user's roles while withholding the
Administer permissions permission.


RoleAssign introduces a new permission called Assign roles. Users
with this permission are able to assign selected roles to still
other users. Only users with the Administer permissions
permission may select which roles are available for assignment
through this module.


RoleAssign is ideal for smaller sites with a system administrator
and one assistant administrator role that should be reasonably
restricted in what it allows. For larger sites with multiple
levels of administrators or whenever you need finer-grained
control over which role can assign which other role, check out
Role Delegation. See #961682: Does the role delegation module
supersede this module? for a short discussion of the relative
merits of the two modules.
