How long ago was this? I wonder if it's improved any since then. I've
got a couple of my people looking at VxSS, but I think I'll put it on hold.
I haven't had much time to dive into the details of how VxSS works, but
how granular is the control? Can I restrict certain users to managing
certain policies, volume pools, or even individual media?
