Agaric wants a "create users" permission for DrupalAgaric wants a "create users" permission for Drupal

Drupal should add a "create users" permission, split out from administer users, because this is a useful privilege for certain roles to have.
For instance, managers of organic groups should be able to create users that they can then add to their group. They should not be able to administer users (edit or delete existing users).

I totally agree. I asked for this issue in various drupal forum without being answered. Did you find how to manage the question?
Not yet
It hasn't become pressing enough for us to really try for a solution, but link to some of your posts and maybe we can create (or more likely find) an issue for making these permissions more fine-grained in Drupal 7.
Update! This exists! AdministerUsersByRole module.
Alternative to PWN when the needs are simpler:
assign role drupal permission
http://drupal.org/project/roleassign
drupal create users without "administer access control" permission
drupal create user permission
http://drupal.org/node/421826
Dunno, think that guy's wrong, it should work:
http://drupal.org/project/administerusersbyrole
Yes. Stefan's using it. You enable the module, it creates no settings page, just adds permissions to admin/user/permission
You then need to use role_delegate (though i bet role assign would work too, role delegate is recommended by administerusersbyrole) to be able to assign roles to those users when you create them.
