I would like to add other users and give them administrator privelidges to the cups web interface but do not want to share our admin password.  What steps do i need to go through to add users with admin privelidges?

Look into your cupsd.conf for the SystemGroup keyword. Tha value of this

administrators.
You only need to add additional users to this group.
