By default, only the super user is able to manage all the spaces of the platform:
Create pages on spaces.
Add/delete/promote members.
Add/modify/delete space data (Wiki pages, forum Posts, activities, tasks...).
With eXo Platform 5.0 it is possible to define a group of users to manage spaces. This group of users is able to edit and delete all kind of spaces: visible and hidden.
The group of spaces administrators could be defined by adding this property to exo.properties file:
exo.social.spaces.administrators
You should specify the membership type (*, member, manager...) in the value of the property.
It is possible to specify a list of groups separated by commas ,.
In this example, all users of the two groups /platform/administrators and /developers are allowed to manage spaces:
exo.social.spaces.administrators=*:/platform/administrators,*:/developers
