Drupal module of the day, admin role
Image via Wikipedia
When I started developing with Drupal, I always found myself creating an admin role. Then each time I added a new module I had to add the new permissions to the administrator role I created. It is not that bad but it is kind of annoying having to do that every day. Besides, sometimes I forgot to add the permissions to the role, which made some tests fail.
Then the Admin role module came to the rescue. What this module does is assign a role the administrator role. Then every time you add a module, it automatically adds those permissions to the admin role. This will allow you have more than one user with the “user 1″ superpowers, which in Drupal means the user has the same power of the root user in a Linux server.
This module is widely used. So instead of having a Drupal 7 pledge it is being included in Drupal 7 as part of the core. So Kudos to the admin module development!
