Hi Jen,

That's exactly it, delegated admin of fragments. 

So for a real example, we want to allow two people in the College of Science to 
have permission to modify the 'science' layout. Then in the Medical School, 
five people should be allowed to modify the 'medicine' layout (Joanne. However, 
each of these groups should only see and be able to modify what they are 
allowed to do.

The IMPERSONATE permission sounds like what we need, are there some docs on 
that? How can I give these permissions? (Preferably via a CRN as we have 
automated builds)

cheers,
Steve
