I need to give a user permission to manage roles and users however I don't want to give this user administrator permission to the whole site.  How is this done?

I am sure there are multiple ways to do this and my way probably isn't the best, but here is what I did:

Create the new manager role

Create a new page and set permissions so that only new manager role has access

Open table 'DesktopModules' in the database, find 'User Accounts' in the 'Friendly Name' clumn, set IsAdmin field to 'False'

Refresh the new page, and the User Accounts module is now available in the list of modules to add to the page, so add it.

Return to the db table and set the field back to true.

Now the issue is that the control panel at the top of the page displays, which is undesirable, but If you want them to be able to add a new user, you need to edit admin\ControlPanel\IconBar.ascx.vb, in the Page_Load, I added the following to the if block that satrts with If objLoggedIn.IsSuperUser Then :ElseIf PortalSecurity.IsInRole("CustomRole") Then

lblVisibility.Visible =

False

cmdVisibility.Visible =

False

rowControlPanel.Visible =

False

 

Good Luck

 

If

Now they can add users but the 'edit' btton needs to be selected in the control panel

 If they don't need to be able to add users, hide the whole panel

 

 

 

End

THis worked.  Thank you Frank.

However what I really needed was to allow users to manage roles not users...my bad.   So I used your tecnique to add the Security Roles module to the users page after I had already added the Manage Users module.  Now I have two modules on the page and I'd like to get rid of the Manage Users one and there is no Delete on the Content Menu.  I've looked at the TabModules table and sorted by the tabId of the page in question.  I can see all the modules in the content pane but I'm not sure of how to locate the Manage Users module nor am I sure of what I'm doing.  I don't want to delete a record from the TabModules table and then start getting errors.  Can you describe how to delete the Manage Users module after inserting it on a page?

Thanks much
