<p class=MsoNormal>You misunderstood me. I know for a fact that the onus of<br>
administering a separate user base would turn a number of grid<br>
operators I know off using it.<br>
<br>
There definitely needs to be a setup that takes all logins and<br>
levels from the grid database and requires zero admin if people join<br>
or leave, other than adding them to the grid (user server) database.<br>
<br>
I don't know why you would reject using the data that is already<br>
there, but the option should be there for those who want it.<br>
