To delegate management
to someone who does not have user administration capabilities, use
explicit (white) or ACT (green) grants of the WriteMetadata permission.
For example, to delegate management of a group named ETL Developers
to a user named Tara, you would access the
Authorization tab for the ETL Developers group, add Tara, and explicitly grant
the WriteMetadata permission to her.
Note: Do not assume that someone
who has only indirect (gray) settings on someone else's
Authorization tab has not been delegated management.
The best way to check for delegation of an identity is to check each
entry in the
Users and Groups list box on
that identity's
Authorization tab to see
whether there are any explicit (white) or ACT (green) grants of the
WriteMetadata permission.
