Add ability to manage roles from member profile

[#1]

Background:  Often when I see some new members who join and I recognize them as employees and wish to add a specific role (and resulting rank) to them, I have to remember the name, navigate to the admin panel and to the permissions, find the role and add the name.  Likewise, other times, I might see a member name in the course of reading a discussion and wish to click directly on that member's name and take action of affecting roles, or perhaps in the course of reading a PM.

Idea:  Add a link in the member profile that would only be seen by those with permissions to manage users.  Clicking the link would pop a new window with the content of editing permissions for that member, it would have the list of all roles which could be clicked to add or remove the particular role for the user, and below that panel is the list of of the individual permissions in case one wanted to (not recommended) make specific adjustments for a particular permission for just that user.  This alternate navigation path could simplify user management efforts.

We have a lot of private boards and I always first have to look up the user on the forums and then navigate through the admin to add a role for them.  This would simplify the process greatly!

We've heard this one a lot. Thanks for submitting the idea Mark. We'll hopefully get to this soon.

Amen to that!

I sometimes wonder if maybe I was missing something, but clearly I wasn't. It really can be that difficult to manage users sometimes. In general, I'd like to see a much improved admin interface, which from hearing the roadmap appears to be a direction you're heading in.
