Assign a User to Manage SharePoint User Profile

Maybe in some of particular scenario, we found that the user wanted to manage user profile alone without using Farm Administrator Account and to keep the user with a minimal security access.

That way, we can configure User Profile Service Application to have particular user granted as User Profile Manager. So they can go to Central Administration website without touching other configuration.

How we can do this?
