adding new users (privileges)
If this has been addressed somewhere, please point me to it. I’ve done a few searches and read through the FAQ, but I’m not finding exactly what I need.
I have a person with copy editor status; she needs to be able to add new users (self-registration isn’t an option), but I hesitate to give her publisher status because she has a tendency to muck around and make a mess of things. Is there a way that I can give this person the ability to add new users without giving her access to forms, page templates, and site prefs?
I’ve looked at /textpattern/lib/admin_config.php and tried making one change, which didn’t seem to have any effect.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

In /textpattern/lib/admin_config.php add “,3” (3 = copy editor, if I remember correctly) to the line that says “admin.edit”.

Re: adding new users (privileges)
Dragondz, I had consulted that textbook article, but thanks.
ruud, that was precisely the change I had made. I was confused at first because it didn’t show up as a tab and therefore I thought that it hadn’t worked. I realized that I also needed to change ‘tab.admin’. Once I added ‘3’ there, everything worked the way I wanted. Thanks for confirming that I was on the right track!

Re: adding new users (privileges)
The rub, of course, is that this user can now change her privileges to ‘publisher,’ which will allow her to muck around again and wreak havoc. But I’m hoping she won’t notice that ;->.
