No, you can programatically generate a collection using the <cfcollection>
tag. It's the same idea as scheduling which can be done either in admin or
w/ the <cfschedule> tag.
I believe there are a few cases where you might need admin but I'm not
overly fond of verity as it seem to give results that are about as relevant
as ones obtained on alta vista :) (read: completely unrelated -- look up dog
and get articles about fish in asia). There's a video dealing w/ Verity that
should answer most of your questions at http://alive.allaire.com .
If you're using verity to for full text searching in a db Oracle, M$ SQL
Server, etc. have much more customisable and generally much faster
capabilities. For generated page content being indexed, you might want to
consider Google which, while it's a simple search in term of keywords,
returns incredible results: Packages are rather expensive for small sites,
but if you're content doesn't change too often the "site:www.domain.com
keyword1 keyword2" style (free service allows certain logos too on the
result set) works well.

Never had the need to use Verity, until now - but could someone confirm as
to whether it requires Administrative access to create the collection?
