Creating "editor" user during installation

Panopoly provides, by default, an 'editor' role which I find myself using a lot. But using it means I have to guide the site administrator to create a user with the role editor. I thought it could better be handled by providing a form to create that user, next to the form that creates user 1.

And since user 1 usually sees a lot more than the site builder will ever need, I thought I could just finish the installation and log the user as editor.

How do I do that? Also, is it a good idea?

I was thinking the same

I was thinking the same thing! Creating a user should be easy, login-in not so.

You could check admin_menu code that is used for user switching. Maybe you could run this on first admin login?
