Delegating to manager

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a way to grant managers the rights to edit some of the properties of their teammate. I'd like them to use the My Team link on the Web Interface but the User Self-Service role doesn't give them necessary rights.

If you have an idea

Thanks in advance

Update 2015

You can use the Manager security principal as trustee in security roles to delegate permissions over direct reports of users. For details, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_DelegatingPermissions_AllowManagersToManageTheirTeams.htm.

Hello,

At the moment it is impossible to delegate permissions to a user over his/her subordinates. We are planning to implement this functionality in one of the nearest releases.

For a small number of managers, you can do the following:

1. Create a Business Unit for each manager. Each Business Unit will include all subordinates of a specific manager using a search query like this:

    (manager=CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=com)

2. Assign each manager to a Security Role over his/her Business Unit.
