Space admins can assign permissions to groups, but can't actually see who belongs to those groups. Might be a useful thing to add.

Yes. In fact, better yet, keep the global group concept but allow an optional attribute of a group to specify a space to which it is related. This is a step towards a much sought after enhancement (from JHU's perspective) to Confluence for "user partitioning" or, better yet, distributed/delegated user management. I'd like to see some user management delegated to the space admin-level rather than the global admin level.

This really should be fixed – allowing users to take security-related actions without letting them understand the scope of the effects is a Bad Thing.

I agree this is a real gap. Having a mechanism by which I grant privileges to see stuff without being able to verify who has access is an awkward thing.
