Assign Metadata Admins

Question

Hello all, 
 I was wondering if there was a way to assign different people for them to be able to add more metadata fields into any list. For example, some department head needs to add a new document type, he then proceeds to add it in the client console. 
 Is there a way to do this without making the list type/property definition available to be added more metadata by everyone? I would not like everyone to add more metadata, just a very few, and those few wont have access to the Admin console. 
 Thanks

Hello, did I understand correctly that you would like to give ordinary (non-admin) users possibility to add either properties to object's metadata and/or add new values to Value lists? 
 If yes, then you can do this through Class and/or Value list permissions in the admin tool. Select Permissions -tab, add the user who you would like to give special rights t0, select the user by clicking the name in 'Users and groups' box, and then tick the relevant boxes from the options in the lower box. For example in the screen shot, this is Value list for colours, and as I have a tick in the box 'Add new values to the list' for All internal users, it means that everybody can add new colours. But it works the same way for a single user. 
 And the same with Class, go to permission tab and give a single user rights to either Change or Edit the Class, as necessary. 
 Hope this was what you were asking for!
