Hi!

I want one specific rol to allow an user administrator to activate the new accounts on my website and to assign one of more roles to the new members.
If possible the user administrator should be warned for each new registration on the site.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Luc

Create the role (useradmin), and grant that role permission to "administer users".

Ensure you've enabled the "Trigger" module (supplied in Drupal 6), then go to admin/settings/actions

You need to add a "Send E-mail" action that sends a "Hey we have a new user" message to your User Admin.

Then go to the admin/build/trigger/user page and assign your new action to the "After a user account has been created" trigger.

This solution isn't perfect as it only sends an email to a fixed address, but it is pretty close.

I have a role 'Useradmin' and granded it the permission to "administer users" (and no other role).
When I login with a username that has the role 'Useradmin' (as single role), nothing changes on the menu for that user. Should I ad some other permissions?

I tried for the "Send E-mail" action and that works find (I suppose, we will se at the next registration). ;-)

what are you expecting to show up in the menus?

the permissions a user gets in a role is dependant on what permissions you give them in administer -> permissions

Uh... :)

An / Some option(-s) to access the user administration? The people that will be activating the new accounts must have access to the user administration - or not?.

I have the same question about how to grant the right to activate new accounts. What I did:

  • created a role "useradm".
  • granted the following permissions to the role "useradm": User modul: (1) access user profiles, (2) administer permission" and (3) administer users.
  • granted the role "useradm" to a user

I am expecting an option like Administrate > User administration > Users in this user's menu. But this option does not show up.

What am I missing?

for the new role you can create a menu item in the navigation menu or a entirely new menu with the menu items associated with administration.
