Is Admin Role module still relevant

Question

I'm following a drupal 5 tutorial that advises to get the Admin Role module. Is this module still useful for drupal 6?

Part of the drupal 6 installation is the creation of an admin account. What does Admin Role do? Does it work on that account and improve it somehow, or does it create an entirely different admin account?

Answer 1

It can still be useful in Drupal 6. Drupal has a user, the user created when you install Drupal that has all permissions.

This module creates a role which by default has all permissions. You can give users this role to give them permission to everything. It's especially useful when you are developing on fx a staging server and are adding a lot of modules. This way you don't need to configure permission to other developers every time you install a module.
