Is there a way normal users can import issues from Excel?

I know it is possible to import from excel, but this option is only available to higher level administrators.

Is there a way I can make this option available to project admins for their specific projects?

We have to use an internal issue tracking system, however, this guy supports excel import/export... if there was a way I could enable this feature to project admins (without having to make them higher level admins and exposing system configuration) we could make Jira our main issue tracking system.

I guess an equivalent 3rd party plugin could do, but I don't know about any.

How to import JIRA issues using CSV can be used once the Excel workbook is saved as csv.

For the benefit of people using Confluence, I put together How to allow users to import JIRA issues from Excel or CSV. For over a year, this technique has been used to successfully import hundreds of issues with over 80 separate imports logged. In this case, it was for importing QA test plans into JIRA after they when through a review process. The QA team found it easier to use Excel copy/paste/update until the plans were ready to be formalized as issues.
