administration

I'm fairly comfortable with installing Drupal having done so many times with D6. When the D7 release candidates came around I wanted to get my feet wet so I threw up some test sites and eventually moved this blog to D7.  Everything had gone fairly smooth and I've been monitoring the logs to catch redirects, etc. that I needed to setup.  One log entry that I noticed was there was an issue with my cron running.  Ok, no problem.  I headed to my host and checked on my cron job.

I'm putting together a small drupal site for a group of very non-technical users.  There are three departments that together make up the whole team.  Each department has different responsibilities (i.e. roles / permissions) on the site.  I needed to find an easy way for this role management to be handled by department heads and not the site administrator (user #1).  

A couple of modules exist that provide role management capabilities / permissions.  These include the RoleAssign and Roll Delegation modules.  These modules were not ideal however.
