I would like to allow certain users to create other users and assign them roles, but I don't think they will need to change any of the access control settings. Is there a way to enable one of these priviledges without the other? (I have node_access and taxonomy_access installed, currently)

thanks

this is solved in drupal 4.7. It's not impossible to backport the change. (do not look at me!)

I guess if I remove the access control menu item, they won't have it in their menus, which is probably a good enough substitute.

What is frustrating to me is that there seems to be no way to let other users be admins without giving them access to the superuser account. I want to have some administrators that can add users, but I don't want them to be able to change MY password. Is there no way to change this?

Ok, I just hacked the user.module so that it doesn't display user 1 on the user menu. (by adding "AND uid != 1" to the end of the sql query) Surprisingly (given my skill level), it actually worked.

Like my menu solution, it's not too pretty and you can get to it by typing in the right url... but it's passable.
