Abstract
A delegated administration tool for administrating information in a database directory. The delegated administration tool enables an administrator to delegate administration and various types of administrative authority to other users within a community of users. In particular, an administrator with proper authority may create new administrative domains and assign authority referred to as delegation authority and edit authority to other users. The creation of additional administrative domains and the assignment of the delegation authority and edit authority can continue to an arbitrary level within the community.
