Question on hoe to delegate administration rights (BOE XI 3.1)

Question

Hi,
I'm working through the admin document from SAPs site for this product and see that I can delegate administration rights to a user or group. This is something I would find usefull in my company as we have geographically disparate offices and can't always do the work when it is first requested. The idea would be to set up an admin group in each of the offices and add a user to the group to manage things like new starters, group assignments and scheduling on behalf of someone else.
The admin guide is a little vague when it comes to this particular section as it explains what can be done but not how to do it. I have been testing this feature to see how easy it is to set up and I can't get it working.
Question: What rights do I need to configure to permit a user permissions to add a new user and against which object(s) should they be set?
Thanks,
Mike

Answer 1

I'm doing something like this.  For each department, I've created an Admin user group.  These user groups are sub-groups of the administrators group so they get the same rights as the Administrator.
I then go through other parts of the CMC and give these admin sub-groups view only access to things like servers and other areas of the CMC where I don't want them messing around.  They have full control over their department folders, department user groups, and users, but nothing else in the system.  It's a pain to set it up, but it's worth it in the long run.
