Thank you Aniruddha very much for verifying this.  Like Rick I was not
familiar with the arpermission utility.  I found it along with the
documentation text file in the ARSystem directory.

The two things I was stumbling were:

1) that I have to create a group other than Struct Admin to grant
permissions to the AR System forms rather than being able to grant the
Struct Admin group permissions directly.  I read the documentation that I
needed to create a group but it didn't occur what I needed to do with that
group because I couldn't figure out how to assign the group to
StructAdmin.  The second sentence also states
Struct Admin group needs access to all of those forms/fields.


"When assigning Struct Admin permissions, you will need to create a group
to provide access to the objects from the schema and assign it to StructAdmin.
The following table lists all objects the Struct Admin permissions group
must provide."

Now that I read it again a little differently I see what it means.
 Basically it is a combination of two groups that grant access.  (I haven't
used Sub Administrator in years so I forgot about this)

2) it seemed odd that I would have to modify the permission of out of the
box forms to make this out of the box group/feature work.  I figured the
permission for Struct Admin would be baked in and wanted to verify before
overlaying all of those forms/fields.  It seems like
more customization than should be required.

Thanks!
Jason
