User Access & Authentication

This module is not intended to be a remote kill for a client's site. If that is what you need, take a look at killswitch.

Security Questions provides administrator configurable challenge questions for use during the log in and password reset processes. Think of it like most bank website logins.

If enabled, depending on the selected protection mode, the log in form is altered in 1 of 2 ways:

Google Apps provides a single sign on API (documentation) that enables people to write applications that do user authentication against a local database, and then tell google that the user is authenticated.

Sessions that expire - in a user-comfy manner

Role-based session expiration/prolongation

Drupal 7's default session settings make sessions live almost indefinitely - that may present security and performance issues.

A simple module to allow a user to become another user.

This collection of modules creates a restful interface with full CRUD functionality for pages and articles. It integrates the 3scale API management studio for access and analytics.

The COPPA lite module provides basic COPPA compliance for users registering for an account on your site by validating their age and setting a cookie on the users machine if age validation fails. This will prevent them from attempting registration again for a period of 24 hours as well as presenting the user with a generic error message.

This is a module for authorization in drupal through social networks.

Role Field provides a field for selecting roles that exist in your site.

Please note that there is no out-of-the-box permissions shenanigans going on. It just lets you pick from a list of roles. Although, combined with Rules the possibilities are pretty interesting.
