Delegate Management of a Group or Role
To delegate
management to someone who does not have user administration capabilities,
use explicit 
or ACT 
(green) grants of the WriteMetadata permission. For
example, to delegate management of a group named ETL Developers to
a user named Tara, you would access the Authorization tab for the ETL Developers group, add Tara, and explicitly grant
the WriteMetadata permission to her.

Note: Don't assume
that someone who has only indirect 
settings on someone else's Authorization tab has not been delegated management. The best way to check for
delegation of an identity is to check each entry in the Users and Groups list box on that identity's Authorization tab to see whether there are any explicit or ACT (green) grants of the WriteMetadata permission.
