                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3010
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: jackrabbit-core
            Reporter: Markus Joschko
            Priority: Minor


There is a check in the UserAccessControlProvider that effectively forbids 
everyone but the admin to add users to the UserAdmin Group. 
This makes delegated administration of users where the admin user is not 
available to the "application administrators" impossible.
As it is a security risk to allow every member of the group-admin group access 
to the user-admin group, I'd like to ask to either allow members of the 
administrator group to add user to that group or
 to add an additional group user-group-assignee-group (maybe with a better 
name) with that right.

461                     below group-tree:
462                     - test if the user is group-administrator.
463                     - make sure group-admin cannot modify user-admin or 
administrators
464                     - ... and cannot remove itself.
465                     */
