I'm trying to find a way to allow a user to expand grouped cells on
protected sheet without first having to unprotected it
 
Hi

Read this from Dave Peterson

If you protect the worksheet with code, you can do more things:

Add this to a general module:

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
End Sub

It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (excel doesn't remember
it after closing the workbook.)

(you could use the workbook_open even under ThisWorkbook, too.)

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
