You can try ZAP modules; see http://www.fast.st/zap/pmwiki.php

add ?action=logout to the URL and close the browser windows

The best solution is to maintain administrators via Site/AuthUser 
(AuthUser recipe must be enabled).
Then you can put in
@superadmins: Joe, John
@adminsA: Greg, Dan
@adminsB: Eve, Polly

try as well
@admins: @superadmins, @adminsA, @adminsB

Then Dan can set the edit password to @adminsB or to id:Polly
