No, canon (and in this case, Hermione) clearly states that *no 
apparation* is possible at Hogwarts grounds -be it authorized or 
unauthorized is beside the point. Check, in the books, the different 
times Hermion insists that apparating is impossible: no mention is done 
to needing a special permit from Dumbledore, or any other form of 
authorizaton, to apparate in Hogwarts. It is simply impossible, due to 
the protective charms that have been set up.

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
