"Application Admin" role

"Application Admin" role

I need to create a new role for an "Application Admin" which should have all the rights of a regular admin except "Create roles".
If I allow "Change site configuration" and prevent/prohibit "Create and manage roles" I am still able to create a new role.

Is that a normal behavior?

It seems to me that there is a bug in admin/roles/manage.php

I made also changes in a teacherrole and it wasn't saved. See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=60421

It doesn't seem to be an issue with saving into the database - the "permission" is saved as '-1' for "prevent" and '-1000' for "prohibit".

I haven't look at the code yet, but will do once I'm done with all the new roles setup.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out, the page is missing a check, fixed in 1.7 and 1.8.

Cheers,

Yu
