[Copied across from the main forum, as I'm getting no replies there - this might be a better home]
I have set up a multi-site, and would like each separate site to have a nominated user that can approve new user requests, or create them, for their own (sub-)site.
Is this possible? I have searched for every relevant phrase I can think of but am getting nowhere.
Any suggestions where I might go for a solution, or a work-around?
Thanks in advance!

Normally
Normally you would put those privleged users into a role that allows the 'administer users' permission. However, that may grant more authority than you wish. So a new solution might be necessary.

Too much authority!
Yes, you're right - that would offer more authority than I wish to grant. By 'new solution' I presume you mean delving into code and modifying to restrict some aspects of the account? I just want the approving user to do just that - approve accounts (or unblock them), reset passwords and nothing else. Any suggestions where to look for further guidance?

RoleAssign
Have a look at RoleAssign (http://drupal.org/project/roleassign). It allows you to to delegate the assignment of roles.
Roleassign doesn't prevent admin from being blocked or deleted
Thanks for that, but I've tried RoleAssign. This is a great module, but it doesn't quite allow me to do what I want. It will allow me to enable a user to assign roles to other users, as well as block/unblock users. However, they can also block the Admin account - which is what I'm trying to prevent.
I don't really need the user to be able to assign roles - I just want them to be able to activate (unblock) a new user so they can log in.
Any more ideas or suggestions?
Two Questions
How many sub-sites are you planning to have? And who nominates these special quasi-admins?
Sub-sites and admins
Hi. I plan to have many subsites - up to any sensible limit that might be advisable in Drupal (any ideas?). And I will be nominating the quasi-admins. These sites correspond to customers, and if I get this right, there will be lots!
Why do you ask?
