Interesting idea Scott. This calls for SNMP standards...
Now that opens up a whole other can of worms :)

>From the Web Console Users Guide v 7, on pg 49:

I think I am missing the point somewhere along the line. Are you saying, that 
when
"small network group" want to see their stuff, they open the default map as 
normal,
but they only see the stuff that belongs to them? Will they see it in the main 
map,
or everything collected in one smart-set?  Are you basing their scope on the 
smartset?

The web client *IS* the way to go and the use of Scope is the best way to do 
it. You have to have some way of recognizing devices they want to see - we use 
the snmp contact/location field of the devices to set up smartsets that 
segregate resources the way we want. Having the devices with an snmp contact 
name of "Network Team" or similar would allow you to build a smartset called 
"Network Team Stuff" and then the web client would allow you to display it 
based on scope. Maybe this would work for you.
