Administer Users by Role

SUMMARY

This module allows site builders to set up fine-grained permissions for allowing "sub-admin" users to edit and delete other users — more specific than Drupal Core's all-or-nothing 'administer users' permission. It also provides and enforces a 'create users' permission.

CORE PERMISSIONS

Administer users

DO NOT set this for sub-admins. This permission bypasses all of the permissions in "Administer Users by Role".

View user information

Your sub-admins should probably have this permission. (Most things work without it, but for example with a View showing users, the user name will only become a link if this permission is set.)

Select method for cancelling account

If you set this for sub-admins, then the sub-admin can choose a cancellation method when cancelling an account. If not, then the sum-admin will always use the default cancellation method.

NEW PERMISSIONS

Access the users overview page

See the list of users at admin/people. Only users that can be edited are shown.

Create new users

Create users, at admin/people/create.

Allow empty user mail when managing users

Create and manage users that have no email address.

Edit users with no custom roles

Allows editing of any authenticated user that has no custom roles set.

Edit users with role XXX

Allows editing of any authenticated user with the specified role. To edit a user with multiple roles, the sub-admin must have permission to edit ALL of those roles. ("Edit users with no custom roles" is NOT needed.)

Cancel

The permission for cancel work exactly the same as those for edit.

GOOGLE CODE-IN

Drupal 8 port done with assistance from the student gvso as a Google Code-In (GCI) 2014 task. Google Code-in is a contest for pre-university students (e.g., high school and secondary school students ages 13-17) with the goal of encouraging young people to participate in open source.
