1. A method of establishing hierarchical user management authority for a plurality storage resources organized into a plurality of resource groups in a computing storage environment by a processor device, comprising: associating the plurality of storage resources with a resource group object, the resource group object and a storage resource object by having a resource group attribute associating the storage resource object with one of the plurality of resource groups; assigning a resource group label attribute to the resource group object; defining at least one additional attribute of the resource group object that specify a plurality of management policies for the resource group object and the plurality of storage resources associated with the resource group object; associating at least one of a plurality of available users of the plurality of storage resources with a user resource scope attribute; defining a schema for comparing of a plurality of values of the user resource scope attribute with the resource group label attribute, wherein the at least one of the plurality of available users has authority to perform one of creating, modifying, delete, and managing the plurality of storage resources associated with the at least one of the plurality of resource groups and also authority to perform one of creating and modifying at least one of the plurality of resource groups; assigning a parent resource group attribute to at least one of the resource group object that identifies another one of the plurality of resource groups as a parent of the plurality of resource groups such that a specified one of the plurality of resource groups may be hierarchically related to at least one child resource group; constraining the resource group label attribute of the parent of the plurality of resource groups and the at least one child resource group such that a resource scope may be defined to match a subset of a set of the plurality of resource groups consisting of at least one of the plurality of resource groups and at least one of the descendants of the plurality of resource groups; and requiring the plurality of management policies specified in at least one policy attribute of the at least one child resource group be as restrictive as the plurality of management policies specified in the at least one policy attribute of the parent of the plurality of resource groups.
