delegate user management to a user

[Georgino]

Hi there, need to delegate/assign user management permissions to a user without giving him site-admin permission

Hello,

As far as I know there is no way to do that other than granting them the site-admin permission.

However, a project admin can manage existing users by putting them in project roles. You can then parameter your project permissions as a function of the project roles, allowing the project admin to have full control over user permissions within his project.

Depending on what your need is, this might be a viable option; project admin can manage permissions, but they can't create users or assign them to specific groups.

Let me know if it helped or not,

Guilhem

Hi George,

That is not possible. The site-admin purpose is to give a user the permissions to do user management.

Hi John,

     thanks for answering so quickly. only what i need to do is to grant a certain user the permission to view all users on site, and according to my info. this view is available only for site-admin through user management tab. so is there any other possible way to do so without granting Site-admin ?

Unfortunately, no. The only way to see all users on the site is with that permission. 

Now, if you have a custom field that is a single user picker type, then a user could use the dropdown to see the users. But you can't get a list using that method.

The other option is to periodically do an export of the user list and send to the user.
