The administer users permission is more broad than necessary and not prudent to give most roles. For example, it is often the case that we need to be able to allow a role the permission to create users, but this is within the "administer users" permission. (A problem solved with the UCreate module, but it has not been upgraded to Drupal 7 yet.)
I'd also like to allow users with a given permission the ability to assign other users with a configurable list of roles or a family of permissions. I'm not sure what the UI for that will look like yet though.
