I am currently building a site with a basic drupal installation (5.9). I have installed the OG module for the several departments that need to use this site.

Each group will have a manager, but I don't want to give them site-wide roles to create content, just roles that will allow them to create content within their groups-- Hence the reason why I am looking into OG User Roles. I am using OG User Roles 5.x-3.2 and OG 5.x-7.3.

I have created an admin role that has all of the permissions necessary to create content on the site. I can see the "Configure Member Roles" tab on the group subscribers page and I can assign roles to users within that group. I have assigned this admin role to a user, who happens to be the group manager, using OG User Roles. However, when he is logged in to his group and clicks on the create content link in the Group Details menu it gives the message: "No content types available." The only way that I can get any links to show up on this page is to assign the admin role to the user on a site level.

If anyone could help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it.

look at notes on project page on what to do when roles aren't respected. hint: clear the cache.

I apologize, I should have specified. I do have the clear the cache setting turned on in the module settings. Doing some more poking around I think that the problem is that the OG User Roles module does not apply the roles to anything but the current group content.

That is absolutely correct.

Thanks for your help SomebodySysop. Upon browsing through the module directory I found the user module patches. I realized that these patches had not been applied and were necessary for the reset functionality to work. Upon applying the patches everything worked fine.
