This module makes the lifes of webmasters a bit easier. We want to make it as easy as possible for Drupal end-users to have all the tools at a central spot.
Hosting Profile Roles extends Aegir to enable more control over what role(s) a client user is assigned during site install. Since, by default, Aegir client's are given UID1 during site installs, this module also allows UID1 to be assigned to another user. This allows tighter control of the client's user experience, and thus support for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) type business models.
Current features
Additions to the front-end:
adds a "Roles" tab to the platform page that includes (for each profile available on the platform):
a field for an Aegir user that will be assigned UID1 for sites created using that profile
a field for the name of the role to assign site creators
When a site is created on a such a platform:
UID1 on a created site is replaced (in the site context) by the Aegir user specified on the platform's Roles tab for the relevant profile
after the site is installed, a second user is created based on site's creator
that user is assigned the role specified on the platform's Roles tab for the relevant profile
the "Login" link is updated to point to the second user's account
