Hi Damian,

I discussed this with Robert on Tuesday, we took a look at the added
effort
that any new alarms (with a new set of notification users) would add.
Robert agrees that the "notification group" design would be easier
to evolve since no software changes would be required when a new role is
added. 
With the "user group roles" design it would require a software change to
add 
a new role. 

Would you be OK with my proceeding with the "notification group" design,
with a default notification group to simplify the configuration of small
systems?

Dave.
