Its application-based. Same as the BlackBerry Manager UI (non-MMC) but scaled according to their permissions. Until BlackBerry Manager has a 'thin-client' web UI, I don't think any of this will be worth its weight in pennies. You still have to configure correct permissions on the database (can be done via permissions configuration in the Manager console now tho), service account mailbox, etc., in addition to installing the client on the users' machines. I really, REALLY hope they add the web UI at some point sooner than later (assuming its even in the pipeline). I was really excited about the role-based administration then highly disappointed once I played with it). Having remote database connectivity for remote semi-administrative roles is highly inefficient (remote office over WAN, VPN over WAN, etc).
