Role Help

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.
