Filter users list by role

It would be nice to have an opportunity to view the list of users in a particular role.

Re: Filter users list by role

It definitely could be more user friendly and easier to find.

If you go to Admin > Role Administration, then click a gear for a role and you will see a link "Change Role Members", click this and you will see the users currently in the role and a dropdown list to add more users to the role.

Re: Filter users list by role

Thanks, I did not found it. :)
But it's an admin interface created for editing.

I meant something like /MemberList.aspx, but with an opportunity to filter by role.

Re: Filter users list by role

I agree it would be a nice feature to have but I think it should be only available for Admins or possibly also for Role Admins (a feature I plan to implement based on Jesse's suggestion)

I don't think ordinary users should get much information about what roles exist in the system.

When I get to the planned features in site office there will be groups that may or may not correspond to roles that can be used for sending messages etc and these will certainly be visible to users and might be an alternate way to lookup users in particular organizational roles.

Re: Filter users list by role

Speaking about MemberList.aspx, it already differs for admins and non-admins ("add user" link).

There could also be a combobox "show only in role: all, admins, ..." showed only to admins and role admins.

Re: Filter users list by role

I would like a role system too for editing or view or mailing users.

My syggestion:

Add 2 tabs to the user in admin mode (Role User Viewers and Role User Editors) and store the content to 2 new tables
Create at least 2 Roles (User Viewers and User Editors)
Add the Roles to the user
Add users to these Roles

In this way you can assign viewing a part of the userlist to members that ar member off 'view public member' or 'view super users'

Could you implement this if I make the the Code or are You willing to code it.

Re: Filter users list by role

I do not really see the need for this complexity of roles for viewing or editing users. All users can view other users public info and only administrators can edit users. This seems sufficient and natural to me.

I do have plans for a private message system within the site so that users can send messages to other users within the site without having access to their email addresses.

Best,

Joe
