Creation and administration of sub-groups be done by 'Maintainer' of the group, instead of only by owners.
We have an in-house installation of Gitlab EE, where the Gitlab Admins are responsible for creating the groups to ensure policy adherence.
Several internal group members have requested the addition of sub-groups for internal organizational purposes. The Gitlab Admins cannot grant ownership of the group to a current group member due to the company policies, but also do not want to add a procedure for users to request the creation of sub-groups.
To support the user's request to allow greater organization to their code, allow members with 'Maintainer' level and greater access the ability to create/administer sub-groups within the main group.
Proposal
Allow a configurable group setting to allow Maintainers to create sub-groups and manage group members. This should default to enabled.
