Creating users&groups
As I am currently implementing an UI for usermgmt I stumbled upon the
fact, that only THE admin user can create users and groups.
Is that true?
As there are UserAdmin and GroupAdmin groups I always assumed, that
all users belonging to one of these groups
can administer them.
However that doesn't seem to be the case.
What are these groups then for?
Would it be worthwhile to delegate mgmt of users and groups to these groups?
Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
Thanks for reporrting your findings. My quick take is: no, that is not on
purpose. It looks like a bug to me. Please file a new issue in jira.
I can try to take a look at it later today or tomorrow.
Regards,
Eric

I have to correct myself:
It works fine for GroupAdmin. Users in this group can create/modify groups.
However users being in the group UserAdmin can't create new users.
Is this by purpose?
