While you could definitely shoe horn this into the admin with a bunch
of customizations, you're likely better off just writing your own
interface for these tasks. My general rule of thumb is if the end user
isn't "techie" or they will be using the interface many times per day
I don't use the admin.

Don't get me wrong, the admin is great, but it isn't ideal for many
repetitive tasks.
