The owner of a group can edit the members of the group.

The goal is to have multiple people with access to edit the group members. Is that possible?

Hi @Ellena Zimmerma ,

Yes if possible, exist different approaches to this case and from where you can edit, for example:

1.- Create a new module which you user criterias.

2.- From the sys_user_group table and write you rules.

3.- From the sys_user table and write your rules.

4.- From the sys_user_has_group table and limit the access to the owner of the group.

Exist diferent ways and diferent aproaches to do that, using OOB methods, using scripting, flows and some ways.

Hope that help you.

@Ellena Zimmerma What would be the criteria to allow specific users to edit the members of a group? Are they going to have a specific role or will they belong to a specific group which can edit the members of all the groups?

We faced similar request from our business team in past, and in our implementation we chose to create a custom table for group Deputies. These group deputies were the members of the group with a special privilege to edit the members of the group where they were designated as deputies. 

The Deputies custom table was nothing but a mapping of user (person designated as deputy) and group references and this table was added as a related list on our sys_user_group record. We created write ACLs for the deputies to allow them edit the list of members of the group.

Hope this helps.
