Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Just having a look through some of the features / imlpementation areas for this module...
are there any reasons why we couldn't have UUID support for user roles in D6, or would a patch be welcoming?

skwashd commentedThis is already implemented for D7. I'm fine with this being implemented for D6 too, but I would like to see a patch for the D7 upgrade path as part of it.

David_Rothstein commentedI see no evidence that UUIDs for roles exist in the Drupal 7 version of the module... Am I missing something? (See also: #1547894: Incorrect and nonexistent roles are sometimes saved by UUID Services)
It seems like it would be a useful feature to add, but might not be simple because roles are not entities.

skwashd commentedMy comment about this being implemented was for a previous iteration of the D7 port.
Roles aren't entities and UUID for D7 only supports entities. If someone creates a module that exposes roles as entities this can be revisited. For now closing as WONTFIX.

minoroffense commentedJust to cross post. I created a module to do basic UUID handling with roles.

If anyone wants to check it out. Doesn't convert roles to entities, just adds a UUID value. Makes exporting roles a little bit easier.
