Delegated Group Administrator

Note: this component stores cluster-wide configuration data and is mirrored across all servers in the topology within the the same cluster.

Note: changes to cluster-wide configuration objects are immediately and automatically mirrored across all servers within the same cluster, so offline changes are not supported.

A Delegated Group Administrator gives a user, or group of users, authority to manage membership of selected groups through the Delegated Admin API. The admin user(s) is given rights to view, but not to edit, the users within the specified scope of this Delegated Group Administrator.
