  1. This module was written to extend the standard functionality regarding users
  2. and groups management.
  3. It helps creating well-defined user roles and associating them to users.
  4. It can become very hard to maintain a large number of user profiles over time,
  5. juggling with many technical groups. For this purpose, this module will help
  6. you to:
  7. * define functional roles by aggregating low-level groups,
  8. * set user accounts with the predefined roles (roles are cumulative),
  9. * update groups of all relevant user accounts (all at once),
  10. * ensure that user accounts will have the groups defined in their roles
  11. (nothing more, nothing less). In other words, you can not set groups
  12. manually on a user as long as there is roles configured on it,
  13. * activate/deactivate roles depending on the date (useful to plan holidays, etc)
  14. * get a quick overview of roles and the related user accounts.
  15. That way you make clear the different responsabilities within a company, and
  16. are able to add and update user accounts in a scalable and reliable way.
