Sub-administration not fully implemented

Hi,
I administrate a BOE XI rel 2 server (and a test/development one too). I see a flaw or limitation with 'sub-administration'. I can set up a folder for an application and then grant rights to the application's administrator. This application administrator or 'sub-administrator' can then create sub-folders, publish reports to the sub-folders, schedule reports, etc.
However, I still as the top administrator have to create the sub-administrator's groups and then give rights to the application administrator to update the group. I don't think it can be done. That is, I can't truly give a 'slice-of-the-pie' administrative rights to an application administrator. The limitiation is that I still have to create the groups. If I allow rights to user groups for the sub-administrator, then he/she has rights to all the groups, which I don't want.
Am I right? Any ideas to get around this?
Regards, Rivdog
