Here\'s my scenario, I have multiple departments and nothing to hide.
I want to publish everything but I want the information each
department gets to show up on the *main* site page ONLY if it has to
do with them. Any other stories simply get supressed, they can
search for it, but I don\'t want their attention detracted to information
meant for the *other* department.

Right now I can get around this by setting up the user account and
then logging in *as* the user and checking off the topics I don\'t want
them to see on the main page. I\'d rather be able to do that from the
*user* creation page. Save me a trip.

Better yet, I\'d like to see a user section in the \"Groups\" editor that
allows me to set some user preferences globally to all users in that
group. So for instance, I can toggle the \"accounting\" topic to
SUPRESS for all the users in the group \"Engineering\" that don\'t need
to see the posts from the accounting group flying around. But at the
same time, if an engineer wants to see those stories, they can search
the accounting topic.

Possibly even an option that allows the user to *see* the site as
another department would. So after an engineer is done reading
about stories that pertain to his dept, he can view the site as the
accounting dept would see it that day and read their news and so on.
