Administer Users by Role

View on drupal.org

This module allows you to grant specific users the ability to manage other users based on their roles. It provides more granular control over user administration than Drupal core, enabling you to define permissions for creating, editing, deleting, assigning roles, and viewing users.

This module allows site builders to set up fine-grained permissions for allowing "sub-admin" users to manage other users based on the target user\'s role.

The module defines new permissions to control access to edit/delete users - more specific than Drupal Core\'s all-or-nothing 'administer users'. It provides and enforces a 'create users' permission and adds fine-grained control of assigning roles and viewing users.

An optional simple configuration mode can be used in the most common scenarios. See the module help page /admin/help/administerusersbyrole for details.

Versions 2 and 3 of the module were sponsored by AlbanyWeb.
