General developer forum

I've just written it:
A block that allows the creation of parent accounts from just an email address.

Capabilities can be set to allow central administration of parent accounts (user types students name into a search box then can add/delete parent accounts) and/or allow students to add/delete their own parent accounts. Addition and Deletion are different capabilities.

Once configured, simply select a student (or get students to do it themselves) and enter an email address; a user account is created with this address, it is assigned the (configured) parent role and a (configurable) welcome email is sent to the address (with login details)

It can be found here: CONTRIB-1020

Creating/assigning parent accounts seems to be a common issue, hopefully this block will go some way to making the process a lot simpler. What do people think? What needs improving?

Thanks,
Mike
