Allow use of IMCE Browser without granting "Administer IMCE" permissions?

Problem/Motivation

I'd like to enable to Editors to use the IMCE browser without having to grant permissions to IMCE settings, which (horrifyingly) seems to allow them to edit their own configuration profiles via the settings tab. Using core 9.4.5, if I don't allow that access, there doesn't seem to be a way they can use the browser alone. Is there something I've missed in permissions or config?

But what if we don't want users to only access the file browser from their profile page?

One of my projects requires users to restrict access to their profile page but have access to the file browser. So I created a patch that added a new permission called: Administer Imce File Browser. This way users can access the /admin/imce/browser path. Configuration profiles still work!

Also not sure if I'm doing something wrong to achieve what I want, but it seems not possible without my patch.
