Body: <p>Is it possible to assign priveleges to a user group (not admin but with CP access) to manually 'Activate User's?</p>
  
  <p>We have a few users who struggle with the email process but it would seem only top level admins can Activate - is that the case or is there an override?</p>

  `requireAdmin` is hard coded into the `actionActivateUser` action in line 444 of the `UsersService` file, so I suspect that there is no way to over-ride this without creating your own plugin.
