I can see that you can assign users / roles the ADMIN permission in both the out of the box GeoServer and also within the GeoFence extension but this always seems to be tied to a workspace. Is there a way to give a user admin rights to manage users without giving them instant access to all the other functions in the admin UI? I'm not sure if it's possible within GeoServer, maybe with GeoFence? But we (Astun) have recently done something similar using and external LDAP service and KeyCloak which handles the user management outside of GeoServer which should allow you to do what you want. I've submitted a talk about this for FOSS4G and am planning on writing it up as a blog post when I get some spare time.
