Which feature allows users to manage permissions without full administrative rights?

The Delegated Admin feature is designed specifically to allow certain users to manage permissions and access for other users without granting them full administrative rights. This feature is particularly useful in large organizations where it is impractical for a single administrator to manage all user permissions. By using Delegated Admin, an organization can designate specific users with limited capabilities, enabling them to perform tasks such as creating users, assigning permissions, and managing roles for a subset of the organization.

This capability enhances security and governance by ensuring that not all users have the highest level of access, thus reducing the risk of accidental or malicious changes to critical system settings. The Delegated Admin can be tailored to specific needs, allowing for a flexible approach to user management while maintaining oversight and control at the administrative level.

In contrast, Role Hierarchy is primarily concerned with providing access rights based on an organization’s structure, where higher roles can access records owned by lower roles. User Profiles define settings for permissions across many users simultaneously but do not allow for the targeted delegation of administrative tasks. Sharing Rules are used to control record-level access based on criteria or ownership, but they do not provide the capability to manage user permissions like Delegated Admin does.
