Let someone to manage users and groups?

[Rui]

Hi,

I, as a manager, want to let HR division member to control Jira/Confluence user and group:

eg. Add user, Activate/Inactivate user, Add/Remove Users to/from groups etc

However, I don't want them to access Admin panel.

Does anyone know the addon or plugin which let me do this?
Jira or Confluence, either one is great!

Great question!

Their Windows credentials will match the JIRA/Confluence credentials and your current ADMIN team can control the credentials (i.e. read/write/access/etc). Your current ADMIN team can add them as a superuser.

However, I think that the potentially will be able to see the ADMIN control panel if they know where it is.

Good luck with that one. A new single sign on authentication system would be a ton of work and I want less work not more work.

You can think this option as work around. 

You can create service /job to sync the DLs (Distribution list in Active directory) with groups of jira/confluence. 

HR or any other authorized user can modify the DLs (generally DL owner will get the option to modify users). on executing the service/job, the updated list will reflect in the jira/confluence group.

Assuming, you are aware of Project roles. Project admins can manage roles of their projects. You can use project roles instead of groups
