Redirect to profile2 page after adding user based on roles?

Question

I'm using rules and trying to get this workflow.

Site administrator adds new user -> redirected to the user's profile page to fill out information about the user.

I'm using the page redirect action to redirect to the profile2 edit page for the newly created user which works great. But I can't get this rule to trigger only for site administrators.

I've tried using data comparison [ roles= site administrator ] and user roles equals site administrator but neither work.

The idea is that the site administrators can add new users and fill out their profiles immediately.

Here's how to fix the problem I was having and a little more context on how to do it.

First you need the Rules module. http://drupal.org/project/rules

• Go to the rules configuration page, usually located at example.com/admin/config/workflow/rules

  1. Add a new rule

  2. Add condition

     • User has role(s)
     • Parameters should be User: [site:current-user], Roles: roles for condition
     • in my case Parameter: User: [site:current-user], Roles: developer, site administrator

  3. add an action

     • Page redirect to new user profile
     • Parameter: URL: user/[account:uid]/edit/'profilename'
     • replace 'profilename' with whatever your profile2 profile is called

Before I was using the default 'account' parameter, changing it to the User: [site:current-user] fixed my problem.
