database

I'm a noob, development wise and logistically-wise.

I'm developing a site that lets people take a test...

My client wants the ability for a user with the roll/privledge "admin" (a step below a super-admin) to be allowed to create users and only see/edit the users that they create...

The users created in that "category" or group need some information that their superior provides.

For example, I log in as a "manager", I have the ability to invite people to take the test, and manage those people. Before adding those people, I will have filled out a short survey about myself...

Right now, the users that are invited will be asked some of the same questions as the manager. I'd like to cut down the redundancy by using the information put into the database by the manager and apply it to the invited users.

How do I set up my database to work with this criterion? I'm a little confused about how to do this! Let me know if I can add more details...

(This is a mysql and php app)
