The task of creating and maintaining templates across a large enterprise is not going to be the exclusive responsibility of a Confluence Administrator. This aspect of Knowledge Management can occur within a very different set of users. However, currently the only way to provide permissions to work with Global Templates is to provide Confluence Admin rights, and give those users the keys to the kingdom.

Separating the Global Template access rights from the Confluence Admin would be more suitable. Being able to select users or groups, and delegate them Global Template rights piecemeal, would be a much more satisfactory resolution.
