The Role Help module allows a site administrator (with the 'administer access
control' permission) to set a summary and help text for each role.
The role help text may be shown to users on a tab in their user account. Only
the role descriptions that a user has access to are shown.
The summaries are shown in the role admin page and in forms that show role
checkboxes.
Installation
-
Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instruction.
-
Visit the Roles configuration page under Administration > Configuration >
User Accounts > Roles (admin/config/people/roles). For each role, select
Configure Role and enter the summary and help text for the role. -
Also on the Roles configuration page, choose the Help text format.
Differences from Drupal 7
-
The Role Help settings admin page has gone away because all settings are in
or accessible from the Role settings page (admin/config/people/roles). -
The D7 version of Role Help provided a list of all roles visible to the user
at help/roles. Backdrop has dropped the Help menu and path. So instead, this
module optionally provides a list of all roles for administrators at
admin/people/roles and provides a list of the user's roles at user/%user/roles.
