Role Watchdog

Role Watchdog automatically logs all role changes made through the user profile or the User List. Role Watchdog can optionally monitor one or more roles for changes and notify members of selected roles via email whenever a change occurs. Role Watchdog can optionally log role changes in its own table and display the role history on each user's page. This module might be useful when there are multiple administrators for a site, and you need auditing or alerting of manual role changes.

Prerequisites
None

Installation

1. install module: copy role_watchdog directory and all its contents to your modules directory
2. enable module: admin/build/modules
3. configure module: admin/user/roles/role_watchdog
4. configure user access: admin/user/access#module-role_watchdog

Usage
Role Watchdog has three modes of operation. The module will automatically start recording all role changes in the watchdog log. No further configuration is necessary for this functionality, the module will do this "out of the box".

Role Watchdog can optionally email members of selected Notify roles when selected Monitor roles are added or removed. This was specifically added to keep a closer eye on certain role changes, such as an Administrator role. At
least one Monitor role and one Notify role must be selected for this functionality.

Role Watchdog can optionally log role changes in its own table and display the role history on each user's page. Users will need either "View role history" or "View own role history" access permissions to view the tab. This functionality was added for a more permanent audit of role history.
