    I’m working on a site that will have hundreds of members with different permissions. ‘ll be creating the first match myself, but from there on out all members will be managed by a staff member, so it must be simple.

    Are there any recommended add-ons out there that make this a breeze?

    I’m a fan of Zoo Visitor myself.  Well thought-out add-on that converts members into channel entries, which then means the administration of the members is a very familiar experience for your client.

    I agree that Zoo Visitor is great for member management.  But what kind of “permissions” needs do you have?

    For instance, I’m wrapping up a site right now that currently will have a few hundred members - and I’m using Zoo Visitor.  However, one of the requirements of the site is that members might belong to multiple groups, which EE doesn’t do.  So I’ve incorporated AB Member Categories to assist.

    Just a heads up!

    FYI - Zoo Visitor does allow members to be members or more than one permission group - you just create a category group and use that group to determine permissions.
