Allow non-admin roles to Manage Users

Joe,

I'd like to set up a role to manage the users that is not an admin user.

So far, the only role that I've found that can do this is Admin.

Is there a setting that allows non-Admin users to manage users and edit their property values?

Thanks for your work on Mojoportal.

Regards,

Peter  

 

You replied  that I could allow roles to manage users via  Administration > Site Settings > Security > Permissions > Roles That Can Manage Users

I don't seem to have that tab on my site settings page.  I'm at 2.3.5.5 MSSQL.

Is this in a later version or is there perhaps a web.config setting to enable it?

Thanks again for Mojo.

 

Peter

Re: Allow non-admin roles to Manage Users

Hi Peter,

Actually I told you wrong, it is really listed as "Roles that Can Create Users". I'm not sure what version we added that in site settings, but prior to that I'm pretty sure it was a Web.config setting for quite a while and at some point we promoted it to site settings to make it site specific.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Joe,

I added the new role to the "Roles that Can Create Users" but it still didn't expose the profiles to the users in that group.

Re: Allow non-admin roles to Manage Users

I've added a work item in our project tracker to look into this. I'm thinking/remembering that it was purposely implemented to only allow "Roles That Can Create Users" to create them but not manage them afterwards. I'll need to figure out if we can change that without any negative impact on existing installations that use that or if we need a another setting for roles that can manage users more fully. But I do agree we need a way to delegate that so it can be done without making a user a full admin.

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe.

I'll make them administrators for now.
