Currently each site has up to two administrators who manage all IdP and SP metadata for the organization. For those sites with many SPs, this can be a burdensome process. To compensate, InCommon Operations has introduced a new feature called delegated administration.
This new feature allows an InCommon site administrator to delegate administration of SP metadata to another individual, presumably the system administrator who operates the SP in question. This feature has the potential to streamline the metadata administrative process, allowing the site to support many more SPs than it does today.
