[daip] Issue with new accounts : write permissions ?

[Ashley Zauderer]

Hi Eric,
Peter just noticed that I am in both groups "cfa-transient" and 
"aipsuser" whereas the three new accounts only show being in group
"cfa-transient" and "visitor".

Can you add them to the aipsuser group?  Would this be the problem/solution?

akamble
pwilliam
schakrab

Thanks!
ashley
