It seems that one either has full access to making
security changes or no access at all. I have a situation
in which I've created a database for someone and I'd like
to let ONE person at this company have the ability to
reset passwords but I don't particularly want them to have
full access to the security system for obvious reasons.
Any suggestions?
 
The security FAQ has a section on this. Basically you ship a different mdw
than the one you secured it with.

You create the exact same Groups/Users (using the same SIDs), and give the
one person membership in the Admins group. Since the Admins group is
different than the Admins group in your development mdw, they will be able
to manage users, but not change permissions.
