Issue

  • How can we allow the members of the user group "editors" to add / remove new users to their group without giving them administrator permissions?
  • I would like the editors to be able to give the editor role to other users, while not having the ability to promote anyone to the administrator role

Environment

  • DXP 7.0+

Resolution

  • There is no possibility to give a member of a certain group permission to promote equal members to this group without having administrator privileges/rank.
