[Veritas-bu] VxSS and Access Management under NBU51

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?
