AdminRole 6.x released (finally)
Hey folks,
I finally got around to porting the Admin Role module to Drupal 6. Thanks for Pasqualle for getting the ball rolling on this and everyone else who contributed. Although certainly the simplest and smallest of my contributions to Drupal, Admin Role is by far the most well know and widely used. I’d really like to see it end up in core, because I think it is something people want… but perhaps there is a good reason not to.
The idea is that on many sites, you want more than one “super” administrator – that is, someone who can do anything. Unfortunately in Drupal, you cannot do this. The only way is to create a role such as “Admins” and then for every module you install, go to the permissions page, and check off all the little boxes to give permissions to that role. Adminrole simply does that for you whenever you add a new module.
I’ve marked the 6.x release a beta because I haven’t had any testing from the community yet, and only minimal testing from me, but I think it works great 
For anyone out there using adminrole, please give it a whirl. Also note that I released a new version of the 5.x line last week.
Thanks to everyone who helped with these releases, in particular:
And thanks to CivicActions for partially funding the development of this module.
