title	Requirements

To be able to manage managers in an existing group in the GEANT AAI Service, you need to fulfill at least one of these requirements:

To be a manager of the GEANT VO → Then you can manage managers in any group in the GEANT VO
To be a manager of any existing Group in the GEANT VO → Then you can manage managers for any Group you are a manager of.

As both of these operations are similar, this guide will focus primarily on managing managers in a group from the perspective of a Group manager.

Step 3:

You can manage managers in two ways:

directly per User - a specific user is a manager of the Group → continue on Step 3.1
dynamically through Groups - current group of Users are managers of the of the Group through membership in another Group → continue on Step 3.2

Info

Although it is more simple to set a person as a direct Manager of any Group, if you have more complex setup (multiple groups managed by the same people), you should always consider to create a new Group with those people as members and use it there. By adding or removing a member from the Group you are then able to simple change the configration of all managed groups instead of adding the same person to multiple groups manually.

Info

There are multiple roles you can set for Managers in your group:

Group Admin - Full control over the Group (can also manage Managers for the group)
Group Membership Manager - Can only manage memberships for the Group (add, remove, invite, approve applications, reject applications)
Group Observer - Full information about the Group without rights to change anything (read-only Group Admin)
