Thanks for your suggestion!

That is possible, and would work well, I think, but if I could get it
working, I think Owner would be better.

I was hoping to take the Owner route b/c I'd have to set up the local role
of Mgr for *each* folder for each person (I don't want Jim to manage
Jeff's folder), whereas with the Owner schema I can (should be able
to?) simple assign for the enclosing /home folder that Owners have certain
rights, and as the folders get created, they get those rights.

(Plus, part of the challenge would be that I don't *want* them to do many
things that Managers can do--I'd have to create a new Role,
'ContentCreator' or somesuch, with certain permissions, and have them get
that, not the Manager role.)
