What does this feature do?

CSUM gives system admins the ability to nominate arbitrary groups to be managed through CSUM by Space Admins. The admin configuration allows users and groups to be ‘authorized’ to manage a given group.

Navigating to Delegated Group config

As a system admin you can delegate the management of groups to users, either by direct per-user or group authorization. To navigate to this area, go to:

  • Confluence administration > Users and Security > Custom Space User Management > Delegated Group Config:

Authorize a user/group for Delegated Group management

This is the view of the delegated group config, the table on the left stores groups that you would like other users/groups to manage. The table on the right shows users and groups that are authorized to manage a group, this table will populate only when a delegated group is selected on the left.

...

In this example the user “Sir Admin” and all the users in the group “animals” are now able to add and remove users from the group “colours”. Such management can be done from Space > Space tools > Custom Space User Management > Delegated Groups. The instructions for how to do this can be found here

Removing a user/group for Delegated Group management

To remove the authorization of any users or groups you need to select the delegated group, then you can either select the users and groups (these tables feature multi select) or don't and fill in the users/groups manually in the dialogue box afterwards, then press the ‘De-authorize’ button.

...

When you’re happy with your selection(s) press the Deauthorize button.

Removing a delegated group

You can only remove one delegated group at a time, just select the group to remove and press the remove group button.
