Topics Listeners’ questions What are unwanted users? Discovering abuse Strategies Modules Custom Solutions Clean Up Module of the Week Role Assign https://www.drupal.org/project/roleassign RoleAssign specifically allows site administrators to further delegate the task of managing user's roles while withholding the Administer permissions permission. RoleAssign introduces a new permission called Assign roles. Users with this permission are able to assign selected roles to still other users. Only users with the Administer permissions permission may select which roles are available for assignment through this module. RoleAssign is ideal for smaller sites with a system administrator and one assistant administrator role that should be reasonably restricted in what it allows. For larger sites with multiple levels of administrators or whenever you need finer-grained control over which role can assign which other role, check out Role Delegation. See #961682: Does the role delegation module supersede this module? for

The Night Before DrupalCon   Twas the night before DrupalCon When all through the hotel, Not a developer was coding, not even Crell The Coffee Mugs were placed by the laptops with care, In hopes that our Dries, soon would be there The speakers were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Drupal 8 RC danced in their heads and my boss in his t-shirt and I in mine too just sat down to the bar to throw back a brew When out in the hall there arose such a clatter I  sprang from my stool to see what was the matter, out to the hall I stumbled and fell, tore up my new DrupalCon t-shirt and and exclaimed “oh hell” When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a bright yellow taxi driven by a man with a beard, with a spiky haired passenger wearing glasses and jeans I knew in a moment it must be Dries  More rapid than Varnish his contributors they came. and he commented, and messaged and called them by name: Now JJeff! now Quicksketch now Webchick and Nicxvan On MerlinofChaos On Stella On KarenS and Eaton!

 Module of the Week Role Export - https://www.drupal.org/project/role_export The Role Export module allows roles to have machine_names and generates a unique role id (rid) based off of the machine_name. Roles can be exported with Features and get the exact same rid if imported on other sites. Because of this unique rid there is no need to create plugins per contrib module that use the rid in their export code, such as Views, Ctools, Rules, etc. References to this role id will not break on other sites.
