Hello,
I have a "power user" role that allows a user to see only User Accounts page in the Admin Features (I want a role that limits administration features).

Until 6.1.2, a user belonging to "power user" role was able to perform Add Role to user (User Accounts page - Users and Roles module).

With 6.1.5, the same user obtains only a page refresh when the Add role to user is clicked. Nothing happens. No error and the event viewer is empty.

If I put the user in the admin group, Add role to user works again.

Is there a new internal check that grants role management only to users belonging to admin group?

How can I restore the previous behaviour?
Thanks

I would expect user management being limited to admin role members only and remember some recent security fixes in this area. you may try using dnnWerk User Management (http://dnnusers.codeplex.com/) as an alternative. Note: There will be major changes in this area included in DNN 6.2.0

Hi Sebastian,
if only admin group can perform that operation, how can dnnwerk Users help me for my non-admin role scenario? In other words, can dnnwerk Users manage a role which is a limited admin? If yes, can you please point me at the right direction?
thanks

Can be done sent me a PM and I will let you know. Requires a core hack.

Don't want to broadcast it on the forums in the interest of security.
