I agree with John's assessment of a desirable/workable group and auth list scheme.  That's the easiest way to get fairly broad coverage and quick progress toward improving your overall security base line.  I think we've all been professing this for years.*  
   
  And, as Tom mentioned, I too am curious as to how group profiles were being used by Rob's shop such that it caused such a bottleneck on the save throughput...
   
  <begin snip> We might also point out that under these circumstances, the group 
profile(s) would essentially be the only user(s) entered on the 
authorization lists.

The links in the authority chain can be very concise this way. I'd be 
interested in how Rob's group profiles were set up so that they caused 
long save-times. <end snip>

  *"All" being the vendors (NetIQ, PowerTech, SafeStone, etc.), IBM themselves, and those of us who used to be with vendors (like me, Wayne O., Woodbury, etc.); basically anyone who has had to deal with these pains in the real world - from either side.
