well, according to the freeipa page https://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_UI 
<https://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_UI>

Web UI has two operation modes:

self-service
used for regular users
limited interface - only information about users
default page: user's profile
use cases: change or view own information and reset password
administration
used for members of 'admins' group and users with a role assigned
complete interface available


Whats the point of giving an individual "User Administrator" role if he/she can 
not provision users using the Web UI? And if you want to use the ipa user-* 
commands then you need to actually create a different user admin role that has 
a write permission to cn=users,cn=accounts as the built-in “User Administrator” 
doesn’t have it and thus the ipa user-* commands don’t work.  

Is this a well known bug/limitation? How do you go about providing role 
assigned principals with means to act upon the privileges they posses?

Kristof
