User Access & Authentication

CoSign is an open-source project originally designed to provide the University of Michigan with a secure single sign-on web authentication system.

CoSign authenticates users on the web server and then provides an environment variable for the users' name. When the users access a part of the site that requires authentication, the presence of that variable allows access without having to sign-on again.

The purpose of this module is to provide a way to restrict which vocabularies show up on the node forms. This allows you to do things like setup vocabularies for administrator-only use or for any other purpose where you want only certain roles to see or set vocabulary terms on the nodes.

This module validates a user's age at registration. The minimum age is configurable in an admin page.

Hijacks the new password mail, and mails to a configurable mail address instead of to the users mail.

Update on April 3, 2015: This module has a new maintainer (Ayesh), and now has a stable release after the SA-CONTRIB-2015. Current bugs and other issues will be addressed very soon!

This tiny module adds more granular permissions in order to let users edit a node's Authored by and/or Authored on field (without them being granted the all-powerful administer nodes permission).

This module has been superseded by Override Node Options and won't be maintained anymore.

Account reminder is a simple module that will resend the welcome email to users who have registered with the site but have not yet logged in. The admin can control the initial time before sending a reminder, the time period between subsequent reminders and the total number of reminders to send. The email that is sent is also fully customizable.

Lazy registration implements lazy registration for Drupal.

Update: Drupal 5 and 6 versions are coming soon. We're also thinking of redesigning the module functionality so please voice your opinions on the issue queue.

It can create accounts automatically, purge them after a period of time, allow users to make them permanent by either email confirmation or a simple edit to the account.

Since the permission system only lets the admin allow/disallow creation of content types and can't specify WHERE they can be used, this module tries to solve that problem. This module allows the admin to limit content types available site-wide and by group. Group owners can then choose which types to use within their group. Group owners can use ALL content types ALLOWED to that group, even if that owner only ACTIVATES a subset of those types for use by his members. All regular permissions and roles are still valid and this module will not override your settings there.

Use 1.4 version. Looking for co-maintainer. See message in issue queue.

If you have a ton of users and a ton of roles on your site this module aims to eliminate errors in assigning roles and simply make it easier to keep track of who should be able to do what.

The site admin -

1. defines account types
2. assigns roles to each account type via checkboxes

Either the site admin or user admin -

1. assigns account types to users
2. assigns roles to users based on the limits of the account type

The user -

1. can't tell the difference

Permissions and roles behave as they always have. Account types pretty much just disable the role checkboxes on the user edit page so that the wrong role can't be assigned the user. This is important if you have a person that is a little technically challenged helping to administer users or who doesn't understand that a particular person isn't supposed to be assigned a role just because they requested it.

NEW FEATURE! You can now select roles that will be auto-assigned when the user gets the Account Type assigned to them.
