Import roles per user

I suppose you mean roles per user, not just the plain list of role names like this one '{domain}/admin/user/roles'.
NB: each user may have multiple roles.

Users with roles can be imported, eg:

user, mail, roles
myname, myname@example.org, authenticated user || administrator

The roles itself can not be imported. Making this a postponed minor feature request. You would probably want to import the permissions assigned to each role.

So roles can or cannot be imported? I mean, importing users and assign roles to them.

I guess not, and +1 for that feature.

I coded this one.

fun module to hack into!

attached is the patch, I think it's fairly good, I tried to follow the same approaches as other stuff, I hope to have done it properly. The only bit I am not 100% sure about is the preview of roles, but it shouldn't be that bad how I've done it.

Removed some spaces

Removed even more spaces

will this be included in the module one day?

I'm looking for the exact same functionality and I prefer not to work with patches (as modifications will be lost when upgrading to a newer version).

Also, being able to import a list of roles to the system would be great

@gotcha41, a great way for a patch be accepted is to test it and reporting back to this issue in order for it to be considered.

@gotcha41 - in this case, it would depend on how often you intend on importing users. Once they're imported, it won't matter if the modification is lost on upgrade as you'll already have the users - unless you need to do it again.

Attached is a revised patch, as I found some issues with default assignment of roles.
