how do we handle admin roles?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I just added the 'admin users' role to Litwol, since he's managing a large group and is well-known and responsible. Is that ok? What's the usual process for handing admin perms?

sure

It would be nice to know specifically what things he couldn't do as an admin - perhaps we need to make the admin more powerful in OG itself.

In general, though, I think it would be good to use best judgment and then say "promoted person X" as a comment on this thread.

Well that role jsut confers

Well that role jsut confers the 'admin users' permission - but obviously anyone with that perm can own the site more-or-less.

discussed with litwol

It comes down to

  1. contacting users via e-mail - the current contact form limit per hour is fairly high (20) so this shouldn't be a problem
  2. editing usernames for people

So, I think we're fine in the general case and people shouldn't really need that role.

I use it

I use it to add a note to the signature when I block a spammer. Just in case they ever come back and question it. Not a "must have" use case, but just tossing it out there as another reason.
