If you wanted to use relational segments, you would just create an 'admin' group, and then use relational segments to carve out sub admin tasks: 'news', 'forum', etc. Of course, you would need to create new membership_rels for each segment, I think.

<blockquote> consistent user interface to handle the maintainence of
memberships to the "news_admins"
</blockquote>

Maybe the standard group membership UI? (That could of course be improved, but that's another topic)

This will create a bunch of 'special groups', per subsite I guess, no? Where and how will they be maintained and identified?
