Permission to manage users of a certain group

Zoltán Lehóczky

Under the global User management page (i.e. https://company.atlassian.net/admin/users) I'd like certain non-admin users (specifically: project leaders) to be able to add users to/remove users from specific user groups (in this case, their project's user group) but without being a global administrator.

Note: not having a better option I selected JIRA as the affected service, but this is really part of the global Atlassian user management feature, affecting not just JIRA but also Confluence.

Thanks in advance.

Can't do it (yet).  You're either an admin with access to users and everything else or you're not an admin.

You can do it if you have external management of users (e.g. LDAP or Crowd) because you can use those systems to control it.  But that's not an option on Cloud.

However...

Atlassian are not going to do anything about delegating group management, but they have already fixed

>(specifically: project leaders) to be able to add users to/remove users from specific user groups

Stop using groups and use roles.  Project admins can put any user (or group) into a role in their project.  They don't need global admin to do this, it has no effect on groups and it's really simple.  Forget groups and show your project admins how to add people into roles.

A similar principle applies to Confluence, although that does not have roles - get the space admin to add/remove/update users (or groups) in space admin -> permissions.
