User management role

Hi,

I would like to crate a role for Creating, Editing and Changing Users Password Only so that my technicians can manage users without really having access to anything else. Is there a template for a type of role like this or What permissions should i assign this role?

I don't have a perfect solution, but I can recommend some capabilities to look at. You could either start with a Manager archetype and strip away capabilities, or build a new Role from scratch. While you're preparing this role, you might want to browse through the links on the Managing accounts page.

You'll probably want most of these:
- moodle/user:create
- moodle/user:delete
- moodle/user:update
- moodle/user:editprofile
- moodle/user:viewdetails

And maybe these:
- moodle/user:uploadusers
- moodle/site:configview

I hesitate to recommend a particular combination, since I am sure your organization has specific needs, and it is best for you to understand exactly what privileges that you are giving to your technicians. Most of these capabilities have basic descriptions in the Moodle Docs.
