I have configured a custom role, and I want its members to be able to validate registrations and put new users into other roles. But I don't want to make these full administrators.

In Site Settings > Security I have added the custom role to: Roles that can lookup / create / manage users.

However, when logged in as a user in this role, when I go any user account, I do not see the "Role Membership" tab on the Manage User page.

I then added individual users from this role into the "Role Administrator" role as well... still no "Role Membership" tab.

Once the user is in "Role Administrator" role, for them to add a new user to a role requires going to Administration Menu > Role Administration > View/Edit Members > Add existing user to role > Select user (from very long list).

Have I missed something obvious?  If not, this seems too onerous, and also invites this user to create and delete roles (which I really don't want them to do).

It seems to me two possible solutions might be:

1. Display the "Role Membership" tab to users in "Roles that can manage users".
2. If that is not palatable, add an extra item under Site Settings > Security: "Roles that can assign users to roles". Show the tab to them.

This allows them to pop newly registered users into the correct roles (except admin) at the same time as validating their details.

I've not upgraded yet - will do so now and confirm,

thanks
