I have used Content Profile Module to make a content type of profile. I have then gone to my User management menu -> Permissions menu and given access to the "testuser" role to be able to create the new content type profile. Now when the user with the role logs on and clicks on "My profile" that has a path of sitename/user/username, he/she still goes back to the old profile and not the new content type I created. What am i doing wrong? All I want is users with "testuser" role to have a separate profile than the standard user. I sthis because my user has both roles of "standard user" and "testuser" ?
Yes. Drupal's access system is permissive: if any of a user's roles has a permission, the user will gain the permission as well.
It also sounds like you want to make the default tab for a user's profile to be your new content profile; if that's the case, check out this solution: Drupal - Set 'user/%/edit/uprofile' to default tab on 'user/%/edit'

Is it possible to create a user on a multisite that has access to all the sites in the network, but has limited permissions to for example install plugins and view/edit certain settings? The only thing I want this user to be able to do is to jump in between sites and be able to edit the content of these, without having to log in and out with different accounts on each of the sites.
The most optimal solution would be if I could create a new user role based on the super admin role, and then deactivate permissions from there. But from what I see in the admin interface of the network, I seem to only be able to give a user the super admin role and no other role, except for if I create a user on any of the specific "sub sites" in the network.
Any ideas for how to do this?
I totally misunderstood how this works. I just figured out that I have to do the following:
Create a user on the network. From what I understand, I should not assign the Super Admin role to this user if I don't want the user to have access to the network settings.
Go to Users > Add New on the sites where I want this user to have access and enter the email or username of the user in the input field under Add Existing User.
Choose the Role that this user should have on the specific site.
Click Add Existing User
The user can now login to either one of the sites where the user was added and can switch in between the sites in the admin bar, without having access to the network admin area.
For now I selected the Editor role for this user to limit access to plugins and other settings that only the admin should have access to. If I want to modify the capabilities of the user I could either do it manually or just install a plugin like User Role Editor to do this.
I have developed a system using Drupal 6. I have implemented user registration with content profile. Which means there is a functionality called company registration. It is creating a content profile with companies and a user account also after click register.
Once the profile and user account created both will be in pending status and I have implemented a functionality where the site admin can approve (using rules.) Once approved the content profile is accessible via front end.
But though the users status change rule is written (rule to change the pending user role to active member) the user is unable to login. Currently after approving the content profile the admin again need to go to the user account and activate it.
Can anybody help me to get this resolved please?
My advice would be to use Triggers with this, so that when a content profile is approved, the linked user profile will also be approved. You should be able to write an "Advanced" trigger for this.

I have a Drupal 7 site with single SSO via the LDAP module, which allows us to run the site as n Intranet and users that hit the site with IE will get automatically authenticated using their active directory credentials.
I have a personnel directory content type that holds a list of all of our employees and some of their stats (photo, email, phone number, etc.).
The problem I want to allow the logged in user to be able to edit the node in the personnel directory page that represents them, but because there is no relation between the logged in user and the nodes under the personnel directory content type I am not sure how to go about allowing users to edit their own entries?
The personnel directory page is automatically populated/updated via feeds (it looks at our AD, and pulls down users and updates them if it detects updates in AD meta data).
Somehow I need to tie the logged in user to the specific node, any idea how I could automate this as there are over 300+ nodes/users.
Ultimately, I'd like to have a "edit personnel bio" link that they can link, that will link based on their [current logged in user ID] it will allow them to edit the correct node in the [personnel directory] content type.
I hope this was clear enough to point me to some direction.
Thank you.
basically you want to create a user "role". Then in your permissions page (the one with 1000 checkboxes) you can add edit access to your "personnel bio" content type (or fields) for just that user role.
Then in your template you provide the user a link to the same page with /edit in the url.
Make sure the user has permissions to edit the node of that type. Upon creation of the node via feeds, create a rule (use the Rules module https://drupal.org/project/RULES) to change the creator of the node to that user's uid.
Add another field in the user's account to match their AD username to tie them together. To do this, create a module as seen at https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/8253/how-to-add-extra-fields-to-user-profile
As an Admin, I can Find/View/Edit users in D6. I want a non-admin to be able to view user data (when they registered, their name and email) but NOT edit or change any info (esp. passwords).
Is there a module for this, or do I need to code a new permission.
TIA.
how about a view that fetches user name and email?
I need newly created users to be assigned to a particular role as default.
as default, a new user automatically assigned as "authenticated user" I also need as "content admin (custom created role)"
any idea how to do that?
appreciate helps!!
Why I need that?
I create a content admin role for client, I dont give administrator access. and they need the ability to create new users as content admin. as default I need to give access to "administer permission", but by this way they can create administrator user as well :/ and can messed up with the site. So, if I can assign content-admin role as default to new created users, i wont give administer permissions access to client.
Take a look at the module Auto Assign Role. It allows you to automatically assign roles to new users. You can also set different role presets depending if a user registered himself or an admin created the account. Currently it is only in dev for Drupal 7, but from the issue queue it seems to be in working condition.
From the project page:
The Auto Assign Role serves three primary purposes. The first is to
provide an automatic assignment of roles when a new account is
created. The second is to allow the end user the option of choosing
their own role or roles when they create their account. The third is
to provide paths that will trigger a specific role when an account is
created. The administrator has full control over these functions and
can have them working together or independently of each other. Auto
Assign Role is integrated with the Content Profile module so that you
can have content types serving as registration pages. You can even
replace the default user/register page with a customized version of
your own design.
