Same thing, first time install and ongoing management - doctors in many areas
come and go, and we get locums from time to time. Since the functionality
(except for the "super user") is just the same, I don't see the need for dual
implementation. The "super user" is usually set up during the first install
automatically in that you log in as the super user in order to install.
What I think would be most useful are server side functions like
adduser(user, group) #creates the user and the '_' pseudouser, and adds both
to the repective groups
removeuser(user, group) # to allow a user being a member of multiple groups
addgroup(group) #creates group and '_' pseudo group
removegroup(group)
The client side user interface then should have a tabular listing of all
tables and groups with tick boxes for read/write permissions to set/unset
