I based my view on this:

"Say that standards that a large chunk of customers must meet preclude those customers accessing certain of the major product features."

If what you really meant was that standards that have to be met preclude certain USERS accessing certain of the major product features, then your manual as written should be ok for system admins, as long as their end users don't get to see it and are provided with user-level instructions that don't show them features they aren't supposed to access. But if NOBODY in your customer's organization, including the trained network engineers, should be accessing a certain feature, then it shouldn't be in the manual that customer receives with the product.
