Google Apps Administrators now have the ability to delegate admin rights to users and customize what tasks these delegated admins are allowed to perform in the control panel.

This feature allows the primary administrators or “Super Admins” to share some management tasks such as password reset and user creation, but not the ability to delete users or disable an entire service such as Gmail for example. This control also gives Super Admins the ability to restrict delegated admins from seeing certain tabs in the control panel such as ‘Advanced Tools’ or ‘Support’.
