"Add user" capability for certain user roles

user99 - April 13, 2009 - 15:26

I would like add "Add User" (="Create New User"), capability into user roles, while at same time, I don't want to give them full adminisitrator rights. (That is, certain users of my D6 system, should be able to create new users)

How may I achieve this? I am using only Drupal core without any contrib modules.

If you don't want them to have the 'administer users' permission, then you have to use code, contributed or custom.

On other hand, could it boil

On other hand, could it boil down to giving registered users permission to view

"?q=user/register"

or is it even possible.

While anonymous user can access this page, Registered users cannot :)

/2/ Correct me if I am wrong....

while I give "administer users" permission to a normal user, he can as well go and change admin's password, and take control of full system??

hmm... interesting idea. You could try http://drupal.org/project/path_access to control access to the path.

As for protecting user 1 while giving out "administer users" permission checkout the http://drupal.org/project/userprotect module.
