Ole,

    Although we subscribe to the "group" method of assigning privileges 
as opposed to the individual "users", for something like this, you might 
just want to create a list of certain users and make them superusers and 
they can do anything. Not consistent with our philosophy, but sometimes 
you have to break a rule to get the job done, if the job is that important.
