Delegated User Administration

Delegated user administration is normally implemented via a website where a privileged user can search / add / edit / delete people in their organization. You will not be surprised to hear that this is an identity management use case that Janssen Auth Server does not provide out of the box.

But if you wanted to build a website that performed this function, you could use the SCIM protocol to do so. In your application, you could read the user claims to find out the organization, role, or other information about the person managing data. Then your web application could use this information to make filters when making SCIM calls. Or another handy trick is to put the person's role information in an OAuth access token (using the Update Token script), and then use the SCIM interception script to add the respective filters.
