Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When many modules are installed and many roles are used, it is nearly impossible to remember which column is related to which role.
For example, I have 17 roles set up (included are authorized and anonymous). I have more than 30 modules installed (gave up counting at 31 - probably 50+ modules). By the time I get to the bottom modules, it is a pain to scroll back to the top to make sure I'm checking the correct box for each role.
If the role titles were repeated after every 5 module listings, it would make the Access Control module much easier to use and implement.

Comment #1
elv commentedIt would be a good improvement for big community websites.
At the moment the role titles are output in a THEAD element, but there can be only one THEAD in a table, so this row can't simply be duplicated.
The roles could be output on each module's first row (see attached mockup).

gaele commentedThis is fixed in Drupal 6. With some CSS magic the role titles stay fixed at the top of the screen when scrolling down.
