Patrick,
I like everything about the idea except the name of the group. I
understand where it came from, but would much prefer
a simpler name, for example Admin, as Ryan has suggested. I realize
you started with SiteAdmin, and added the
hyphen for possible cluster applications, but there is no real
connection between the Site group and the (proposed) Site-Admin
group, except that
they probably apply to the site.
