[support] Permissions Question

[antgiant]

@Shai & @Carl thank you for your help.

I have noticed that Drupal has trouble with this, as well as the book
module.  (It seems that no module developers use the book module.)  In
researching some of these answers I ran into this very helpful discussion
http://groups.drupal.org/node/16134.  Looks like I need to work
with @Gribnif to get monster menus up or try some book module concoction,
all of which promise to be painful.  Thank you for your help.
