When editing or create an account for a user, the Site Administrator is currently required to choose a Question and provide an Answer.

This information should not be set by the Site Administrator and should be left for the user to enter themselves when they log in.

The attached patch makes users with user_access('manage users') have none of the fields being required.

Side effect that a user who can manage users does not have to set a security question. No real easy way around that, but those are the users that shouldn't need to reset their password either.

Title: Question and Answer should not be compulsory for 'Manage Users' role accounts » [Patch] Question and Answer should not be compulsory for 'Manage Users' role accounts

Thought I'd rename it to make it more obvious. I have a few other changes I'd like to put in to make it easier on Site Admins too.

Perhaps the module should have its own permissions to allow for greater granularity?
