User access admin role for certain user groups

[Evert Morren Atlas Admin]

I have given 'user access admin' to a user. Now he can manage all user groups. Is it possible to restrict this to only certain groups?

Hi @Evert Morren Atlas Admin ,

Yes, you can make it. To do,

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.

2. Select Directory > Groups.

3. Select the required product role against the group.

More details about admin permissions are in https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/give-users-admin-permissions/

@Evert Morren Atlas Admin ,

This is possible with a custom solution, not of the shelf.

You can create an issue type that will serve such transformations.

The issue type will have an action button, that does not need to transition the issue, just allow for an action to happen.

You will add a condition restricting this action to only a user, a group of users or a role, whomever you want to be able to change the groups.

In the transition screen you will have a multi users field, allowing the autor to add those users to groups A, B, C only.

You have to provide the code to add the selected users to groups A, B, C programatically when the action submit button is clicked.

You will retract the author the right to modify any group.

But you opened this backdoor for the author to update groups A, B, C.

Regards,

Petru

Hi @Evert Morren Atlas Admin 

If you mean restrict User Admin 1 to only manage GroupABC and have User Admin 2 only manage GroupXYZ? No, you can’t restrict to only allow them to manage specific groups.

When you grant a user User Admin access to a product, they can edit the group’s that grant product access to that product, and any group that doesn’t grant any product access. They can’t edit groups that grant access to other products.

Sorry.
