A new client has a problem with their WordPress-based system having too broad of tiers for access control.

Anything I should be sure to check out¿¡

How complicated of a role system do you need?

Something that, at minimum, allows a user posting ability/"dept organizers" from being able to mess with plugins and other random admin stuff! =]

Sorry, was on mobile: Looking to allow a user posting ability/"dept organizers", without them being able to mess with plugins and other random admin stuff! =]

Thanks for your time.

Drupal definitely is the 800lb gorilla in the PHP space. You can do everything with it, but you'll often need to spend some (read: lots of) time getting it going.

For lighter sites, I recommend GravCMS [1], which does a fair amount of what you're looking for. Their documentation [2] is decent, as well.

How many users does your client have? It's been a while since I last played in the WP land, but is it possible to setup new roles that are more restricted?
