i've taken the time to revive jjeff's original patch for a user filter at admin/user. the patch allows you to filter by role, permission, or status, and is a sorely needed piece of functionality for sites with large user bases. at this point i haven't done more than update the patch to current HEAD and make a few minor tweaks--it definitely needs eyes on it, both for coding style and usability. i'd like to urge folks to please have a look at this work and help me get it core worthy prior to the code freeze--it would be a shame to see this slip another release cycle... latest patch is here: http://drupal.org/node/34505#comment-115938 and for those of you who just want to see it in action, i've taken the time to set up a demo site here: http://userfilter.xcarnated.com/ chad
