Summary
You can assign privileges to an entity or entities (individual users, or a group) to allow them to manage a group. This involves granting either the UPDATE or ADMIN permission.
Privilege requirements
You need ADMIN on the group to able to assign privileges on the group. If you are a Grouper sysadmin you inherently have this privilege on every group.
Procedure
- Navigate to the group's membership page. Click on the Privileges tab.
- Click the Add members button.
- Enter your search criteria in the Member name or ID field, and select the appropriate subject form the list. You can search for an individual person, or a group.
- In the Assign these privileges section of the page, select the checkbox for "UPDATE" (can modify group membership) or "ADMIN" (can modify group membership, change group name, or delete the group).
- Choose the simplest permission that will suffice, keeping in mind that anyone with ADMIN privilege can rename or delete the group, whether intentionally or accidentally.
- If the user can manage the group, but is not a member of the group, unselect the checkbox for "MEMBER".
- Click the Add button. Note that the selected person or group is now listed in the list of entities with privileges, with the appropriate privilege(s) assigned.
