 * Hello community!
 * I administrate a network of about 30 sub-site. I know, that installing plug-ins
   is – for security reasons I suppose – only possible for me, the super-admin.
   
   But since I don’t want my 30 sub-admins to request a plug-in check and installation
   by me every other week, I want it to be possible, that they can install plugins
   themselves nonetheless.
 * Any ideas how I can do that?
 * Can I promote the rights of SUB-admins?
 * Can I restrict the rights of SUPER-admins, so that I can add one super-admin 
   per site, who can install plugins, but only change settings of their own site
   instead of the whole network?

 * Can’t. There’s no intermediary steps or permissions to grant people in the case
   of Multisite, it’s Super Admin or nothing.

 * Hi! Thanks alot for your response!
    Yeah I read about that, but I just can’t 
   belive or understand why it is how it is!
 * Isn’t there a least a hack to cheat me through what I want?
 * Isn’t it possible to creat a Super-admin for each sub-site, but with less rights,
   so that I can restrict the sub-super-admin to only one site each?
 * I can’t belive this isn’t possible in the 21st century…
