Hi Cory,

I don't think you can setup a user that can create other users (e.g.,
new user == NU1), but not be able to set that user's password or group
memberships.  The creating user would own the new user object ... so
would presumably have some privileges to it.

To do this, you have to go through a "middleman" application, which creates
the new user on behalf of the person you wish to delegate some rights to.
Since the requesting user didn't actually have the right to create users
himself, he does not actually own the new user object, so you can
control his rights with arbitrary rules.

  We make a product called ID-Synch, that will let you do this.
  idsynch.com.  If you're still interested, visit the site, as
  this list is hardly the venue for product promotion.

Good luck!
