About a year and a half ago I was on a quest to find a management panel for an Email gateway. I never found one but what I did find was Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/). Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. It is entirely written in Perl/CGI. The base uses a perl-based web server (miniserv) that utilizes OpenSSL. Each administration piece is an independent module - including the themes (the way it looks - skins). There are modules for BIND, Sendmail, Postfix, iptables, etc. Access to, and administration capability of Webmin is based on user login.
I developed a module to entirely manage my Postfix/Procmail/SA configuration. So, talking from experience, I believe this could be a good base for your needs. Seeing that you want users to have access, you might want to look into Usermin. I am not sure which would serve your needs best. Based on user login, you can provide your users access only to your module and then only to specific areas of that module. You can entirely hide all other administration modules. Two books exist: 'Managing Linux Systems with Webmin' - Jamie Cameron, who developed almost the entire project, wrote a book for those people who want to author their own custom modules (http://www.webmin.com/index7.html). It explains the Webmin API to help plug the module into the Webmin core and ease the writing of some common functions. The title is a bit of a misnomer as Webmin can be installed on *nix platforms other than Linux. 'The Book of Webmin' - Joe Cooper of Swell Technology (http://www.swelltech.com) wrote one book that is user guide, more or less. His has a free online version (http://www.swelltech.com/support/webminguide-1.0/index.html). Both books have helped me in writing my custom module as well as providing a face-lift to the squidGuard module. Webmin is used in a lot of web-hosting facilities and you would not know it as the face has been customized. Jamie recently developed a management panel for virtual servers called Virtualmin. Some good documentation on this project can be located at http://www.swelltech.com/support/virtual-servers/index.html.
