Hm, interesting idea. You could do some sort of "institution groups"
thing to handle this.

But, I can't really see us making the access control system more
complicated at this time. If you need a higher level of granularity than
the Institution system provides, I'd suggest managing your institution
memberships in an external database, and then write a cron job that
syncs that to the Mahara database.

Title:
  Administration role management

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Project EUFolio is a project where several schools (institutions) from
  several countries take part. Insitution for every participating school
  was created and also administrator for every institution (institution
  admin). The problem is, that there are also persons (let's call them
  "country admins") who manage all schools from certain country.

  They could easily be assigned the role of institution admin for each
  institution from their country. The problem is (or maybe their fear
  is) that since all institution admins have same privileges, they might
  get their role taken away from one of the other institution admins
  (from either one of the institutions they have privileges for). But
  they should not become site admins.

  So is it possible to create a role (e.g. institution manager admin,
  country admin, etc.) which is something between site admin and
  institution admin? Basically this should be an institution admin that
  can not be removed from certain institution by other institution
  admins.
