simpleaccess requires "admin node" priviledge to show up when creating content

Version of Drupal is 4.6.6.

I have simpleaccess installed; the database has been prepared. I have simpleaccess groups tied to user roles.

If I'm admin (user 1), when I create content I can see the check boxes and select which group(s) will see what. But if I'm an authenticated user, when I create content I do not see the simpleaccess visibility choices; I gotta have the administer node privilege for that. But if I grant administer node privilege to authenticated users they get to see even the stuff they're not supposed to see.

C'mon. I have search, researched. It's time to tap on the heavy hitters on this forum. What am I missing on my simpleaccess configuration?

Thanks!
