E.g. /user/editor users/. That way users who have rights like this can add and edit other users in that specific place, but nowhere else. Hope this answered your question. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Torbjørn Laukvik	Wednesday 27 April 2005 8:05:25 am It sounds easy, but I'm not quite sure how to attack this. Have created a new role "superuser" the problem I'm facing right now is that if I try to add a new user policy for the "superuser" role, it's given no limitation all the time. Is this right? doesn't this mean that if I give someone user access, they can all create admins? I have of course added a user group with some users in it. Am I attacking this from the wrong angle?

Torbjørn,

Hope this answered your question.
