You can create the following items only if you have granted the Default permission:

Users and copy flow

Groups, users via groups and users directly

Folders, calendars, collections*

Extract destinations

Content

Typographies and Titles

Print queues, Print templates

Publishing templates

Core system configuration

Security scope (EdAdmin4 > Security scope)

Configuration scopes (EdAdmin4 > Security scope)

Expiration rules

Versioning rules

Copyrights

Variant Types

Document types

Notification Destinations

Sources

Counters

etc

Notes

* For folders, calendars and collections the situation is a bit complicated. The user with the default permission needs to create the 'new' root folder, calendar, collection (we say 'the new root folder' as this does not apply on the item named <Root>, but on one of its children that the 'non-administrator' users will see as the 'root'). Once created, the user with the default permission needs to give to that root the sufficient permissions so that 'non-administrator' users will be able to create new sub-folders, calendars, collections.

Important

Excluded the cases described in Notes and marked by *, please have in mind that you cannot delegate creation of above listed items to 'non-administrator' users, except by giving them the default permission - that makes them almost administrators. This is not recommended as a workaround.
