karenann's sandbox: PermissionAssign

Granular Permission Management with PermissionAssign

Through the default behavior of Drupal, granting the "administer permissions" permission to a role allows that role to manage ALL permissions.

We needed a way to allow certain roles to administer a selected list of permissions.

The PermissionAssign module adds a permission configuration screen for User 1 that looks just like the permissions screen. The difference is that it allows User 1 to choose which permissions are available to each role. This produces a custom permission screen for that user that includes only permissions that they are permitted to manage.
