Right... I was just asking if delegation would be carved out to process
rights rather than a preset "role."  I'm a bit ignorant of the capabilities
here because only 2 people in our entire organization can even touch the ISA
boxes, and I'm one of them, so I've not delved into delegation before.. But,
are you saying that to add/edit destination sets one has to be an ISA
Enterprise or ISA Array admin?  There is no way to delegate "Edit
Destination Set" to a regular user (like one can in AD), right?
