Hi there,

You can create a user and assign them a particular role or permission
that implies they have the ability to create users.

Once you assign that role or permission to the user, and that user
logs in, they will be able to create other users.

You will need to use a realm implementation that uses your datasource
to lookup user roles and/or permissions and returns them back to Shiro
in the form of an AuthorizationInfo object.

You can look at Shiro's existing AuthorizingRealm class and see its
getAuthorizationInfo and doGetAuthorizationInfo JavaDoc.  If you're
using a relational database, you might want to see the JdbcRealm as
that may be good enough for your needs.  If not, creating a subclass
of AuthorizingRealm is pretty easy.

HTH,
