He's asking for trouble!
How many different design groups do you have?  I would suggest using one person with full admin rights over the system.  Designate one Folder Manager for each group.  As the system administrator you control the following:

1. System wide defaults
2. User Accounts
3. Upgrades and Updates of the software
4. Create Release procedures
5. Standard Libraries (i.e., Hardware items)

Create a basic folder structure for each group that you have and under that folder designate one user as the Folder Manager (this should be a separate account for that user because you should not do actual work with your admin account!).  The Folder Manager(s) are responsible for the following:

1. Access rights to their folders
2. Rename objects in Commonspace (only within their designated set of folders)
3. Delete objects in Commonspace (only within their designated set of folders)
4. Create folders (only within their designated set of folders)
5. Move objects within their folders

If everyone has complete admin rights over the system, you will have users deleting files/folders from the Commonspace that shouldn't be deleted.  Deleting user accounts, Release Procedures, etc.  I would definitely take the "Murphy's Law" approach when it comes to this.  Please keep in mind that  have only listed things that immediately came to my mind and that you should plan more carefully than what I have listed.  For instance, maybe you want assign the folders by projects, etc.

I am currently the Intralink administrator at my workplace with about 20
Pro/E - Intralink users.  It is my responsibility to configure the
system-wide defaults and Intralink environment, promote release levels of
objects, purge unneeded object versions, etc.  My engineering manager is
now proposing that we eliminate my Intralink responsibilities.  Instead,
administrative privileges would be shared by all users allowing them to
handle Intralink tasks that were previously managed only by myself.

My immediate supervisor suggested that I post this on the Exploder to see
what others think of this concept.  I would greatly appreciate any
comments.

Thank you,
