Organic Groups: Group Roles (OG User Roles)

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to, for each group type, specify a list of roles that group administrators are allowed to assign. In the subscriber list (og/users/), a 'configure member roles' tab will appear if both the group type is allowed to configure roles and the current user is an admin for the group.

For example, if you created a "trusted user" role, and a new group called "official group," you could allow administrators of only "official group" to add selected other group members of "official group" to the "trusted user" role (only within "official group"). These administrators would see the "configure member roles" tab. The group members added to the "trusted user" role would only have thse permissions while in the "official group" pages or context.

Furthermore, unlike the original og_roles module, this module will restrict the role you select for the user to the group. So, if you have a role called "contributor", and you assign that role to a user and group using this module, the user will only have the role "contributor" in the specified group, and will not have it in any other group unless you specifically add the role to the user in that group.
