Hello,

I use role_delegation to permit some "super-users" to add users into some roles. When the role tab (ie role_delegation) is used to enter a user into a role, it seem that something is not did correctly.

I see this problem with two others modules. The first, content_access allow me to select which role can see which content type. The second is userlist, allow user hat have role X to see members list.

So, if I add a role with role_delegation, I get no access to theses modules, but if I go to the drupal's users editor, I see that the role has been added to the user. If I add a role with the build-in user editor, it's working with no problems.

Role Delegation works on the users_roles table. I'm not aware of anywhere else where per-user role data is stored. Perhaps content_access and userlist are doing specific things when a user is saved?

Also, if I add the user with role_delegation and then I go to the "Access control" and save again (even without any modifications), it's working ! Hope that can help ;)

I think I've got this figured out: the user's menus are cached, so even though the permissions get updated, the relevant options aren't available to the user. In order to fix this, I added the line:

cache_clear_all($form_values['account']->uid .':', 'cache_menu', TRUE);

to the end of the role_delegation_roles_form_submit function, which seems to solve the problem. Could you guys check and see if this fixes your issue, and if it does we can merge it into the module?
