    I got stuck when I tried to bind a user group to a space: root only sees /platform/administrators and the newly created users don't see anything.

    I considered this a bug until I found the jira SOC-862.

    Only users with the role manager can attach a group to space.

    Please give this information on the Bind Group-Panel.
    Also, if the user isn't a manager in any group, please give him a hint why he does not see anything.

    Furthermore I saw that once you have created some spaces there are new user groups created automatically which are linked to the spaces and the creator is the manager of that space. The result is that you can bind your space to the members of another space - is it a feature or bug? A second effect of this that any user can modify the groups composition which belong to her or his space - there might be a security issue.

You should not write "use an existing group" in the group selector, better would be "Select a group"
