Same thing, first time install and ongoing management - doctors in many areas 
come and go, and we get locums from time to time. Since the functionality 
(except for the "super user") is just the same, I don't see the need for dual 
implementation. The "super user" is usually set up during the first install 
automatically in that you log in as the super user in order to install.

What I think would be most useful are server side functions like 

adduser(user, group) #creates the user and the '_' pseudouser, and adds both 
to the repective groups

removeuser(user, group)  # to allow a user being a member of multiple groups

addgroup(group) #creates group and '_' pseudo group

removegroup(group)

The client side user interface then should have a tabular listing of all 
tables and groups with tick boxes for read/write permissions to set/unset
