Why should you install this module?
While out of the box Backdrop CMS provides an instant text based filter, this module provides both a module based filter and a role based filter which can be applied manually or can be applied from the "Permissions"/"Set Permissions" links on the module and role pages respectively. As well as the convenience of filtering to roles and modules, the module also has performance benefits if your site has a lot of roles and/or permissions that could exceed the PHP settings for the number of inputs in a form (max_input_vars
), which could actually stop the form from saving without this module.
