I am implementing this because we need it for our sites.

I've done this:

- create a new dotlrn-admin group
- this group has "admin" permissions on dotlrn
- add a new UI to create/remove dotlrn-admins

I am working on community permissions, i will post a test-site this week for ideas.

Best regards,
Hector Amado

I've done several things:

.LRN Site Wide Administration
- Administrators UI
- Edit community parameters

I created a new group, dotlrn-admin, this group has permissions on
dotlrn only. Users in this group can create users, classes,
communities, etc...
dotlrn-admin users does not have Site Wide permissions.

- Users
I removed site-wide admin toggle

- Edit community parameters
There are new parameters for group administration. (classes, communities)

Site Wide user: mailto:test@oacsadmin.com pass: test
dotlrn-admin user: mailto:test@dotlrnadmin.com pass: test
professor: mailto:test@professor.com pass: test

Please test it, create users, classes, etc ...
