Delegating Administration in ESX 3.5

Is it possible to delegate administration tasks for a single VM or resource pool with ESX 3.5, without using a VC server (that I don't have). I need to give development staff the ability to fully manage there own servers (start / stop / snapshot etc) but I would rather not the have them be able to do the same on production servers (for other departments) running on the same (my only) ESX host.

NOPE. This is why you must use VC for certain tasks, it's CENTRALLY managed....
