    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Now only Confluence admins can maintain user groups, it would be very useful if a defined group of users could also maintain user groups. A set of users can have group admin, without system admin.

            I think you should be able to set an admin for each group. If my team is Group A, the team leader could be the admin of Group A. If a change needed to be made to Group A, the team lead could make the change immediately. Currently, any/all changes to groups must go to a special admin group which then sits on the request for days. I freely admit that is a bureaucracy issue in my organization, but if the tool was built to support an admin for each group, users could bypass the red tape and make changes on the fly.
