No. Sitegroups help you to completely separate the contents for customer
A from student-group B. Sitegroups is a way to virtually have two
databases (or more), when there is actually only one. The only thing
persons from different sitegroups can see both are the resources in
special sitegroup SG0. This is used to provide every sitegroup with the
same administration interface.

I'll give it a shot.

A sitegroup must have a sitegroup admin, they can do anything within the
sitegroup except creating/deleting host records, or changing port/URL for
the host records.
So:
1.) as root, create your sitegroup, and assign an admin group to it.
2.) relog as root*<sitegroupname>
3.) create a new person (<admin>, for example)
4.) add login credential for this person.
5.) make this person member of the admin group of this sitegroup.
6.) create a host record for this sitegroup.
6.) relog as <admin>+<sitegroupname>
Now, the admin will do the next steps:
a.) create groups <page>,<layout> and <content>
b.) create persons
c.) assign login information to these persons
d.) make these persons member of these groups.
e.) make the rootpage of the site owned by
group <page>, the rootstyle owned by group
<layout> and create a toplevel topic and
make it owned by group <content>
Now persons that are member of group <page> can modify all pages, members of
<layout> can modify all styles, etc.
the admin user can modify everything save the exceptions mentioned
earlier.
Hope this will help you further, if not, holler.
Armand.
