Contextual Adminstration

The administration tools modifies the GUI, allowing changes without the overhead of panels.

By default Contextual Administration comes with the ability to add nodes of any type, edit/add/list taxonomy terms, edit vocabularies, and add users.

An additional module provides Views Bulk Operations specific plugins for node and user management.

The primary difference between these features and core's ability to do these things is that context_admin is creating new pages and controls access to these pages through page_manager's access plugins.

In this manner web administrators can give access to users to do particular tasks from particular pages w/o giving them the sitewide ability to perform the same functions.

A good example would be that the "administer taxonomy" permission wouldn't necessarily be required to utilize the various taxonomy capabilities that context_admin has by default, as this is all controlled by the page's page_manager access handler(s).

This ability can be coupled with custom code, or custom context_admin plugins to result in "sub users", "sub nodes" or any variety of other management tools.

Installation:

Unpack in your modules folder (usually '/sites/all/modules/')
Enable under Administer > Site Building > Modules
