Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the definitions and checks for auth|user|Can change user and auth|user profile|Can change user profile; done means profile administration can be delegated without granting unrelated user changes, with tests covering the permission boundary.

Description

enhancement

Currently to delegate user profile administration, one needs to give auth|user|Can change user as well as auth|user profile|Can change user profile. It would be nice to delegate user profile administration to someone without giving them rights to change anything else about the users but it doesn't look like there's a way to do that.
