Simplenews Roles
A helper module for the Simplenews module which automatically populates a newsletter subscription list with users from specified roles.
Status
Drupal 6
Version 6.x-0.1 is tested and works, but has this fairly important flaw: #331080: unsubscribe reverts back after cron run.
Version 6.x-2.0-dev fixes this, but requires an API change in Simplenews which is currently only available in Simplenews CVS HEAD, due for release on an eventual 2.0 branch. In other words, to use this version, you need Simplenews direct from CVS. Further work on the API is going on here #536620: Subscriber API: separate subscribers from newsletter management and allow other modules to define subscribers where input and help would be welcome.
Drupal 5
The 5.x-1.x-dev version may be very unstable so please use with caution! This is no longer being actively developed, but if patches are posted they will be committed.
Usage
After installing, extra options are available on the settings page for each newsletter at admin/content/simplenews/types/edit Choose a role to keep synchronized with your newsletter subscriptions here. If no role is selected, the newsletter subscription works as normal.

Initially developed for Drupal 5 by RobRoy.
