Delegate user administration to a limited set of users

Question

We are currently using the excellent domain module (allows segmenting users by domain) in and the user_import module (allows uploading users via CSV) in Drupal 7.

We've got a new requirement where we want certain authorised users to be able to perform CSV uploads and edit user details for other users within their domain, but limited to no other admin function within the site (or other user details).

Without re-implementing each function (edit users, upload CSV, etc) in a new module (my fallback plan), is this possible within the Drupal permission / authorisation framework?

My gut feeling and exploration so far is no, it isn't. But I am no Drupal expert...

Answer 1

I was never able to find a workaround for this. I ended up replicating the UI outside of the admin panel and reused a collection of the import functions (I also abandoned the users making "manual" edits.)
