put a semi colon at the end and see if that solves it, like "Role Administrators;" 

Hope it helps,

Hi David,

The setting name may imply more than is actual. Basically as I recall it was a feature request in the forums and its admittedly not documented well if at all, its a very small feature. It does not really allow managing users, but it does as I recall allow creating users. So by default users can only be created by admins or via the registration process. The roles specificed in this setting I believe can create users but cannot manage much or any of the user profile afterwards. A user in the role should see the add user link on the member list if I recall correctly. That is the same way that the admin can add users.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Sorry for bringing an old thread back to life but it's relevant to me and I can't get it to work.

I'd like to allow a site content author (or role admin) or basically some other role other than a full blown Administrator to be able to create new users. Currently I have to tell the site admin to log out, create the new account, then log out and log back in as an admin and then go set the roles and permissions for that new user. It's a little confusing and a small hassle, it would be easier if the site admin could create new users without having to log out. But as mentioned, I don't want to give site content authors full admin permissions (as they'll break stuff).

I've tried these options in the user.config with no luck:

<add key="RolesThatCanManageUsers" value="Role Admins;" />
<add key="RolesThatCanManageUsers" value="Role Admins" />
<add key="RolesThatCanManageUsers" value="Role Administrators;" />
<add key="RolesThatCanManageUsers" value="Role Administrators" />

Not the end of the world if this feature is no longer available, but if it is I'd like to use it. Thanks!

 

Hi Eric,

I guess you are working from the source code repository if you are seeing all of those. We've had roles that can create users (but not manage them after) and roles that can lookup users for a while, but roles that can manage users is new and coming in the next release of mojoPortal later this week.

Best,

Joe
