This would be ok, if the actions were the same for each controller.
But, I would like each user to have one set of actions for 1 controller
and a different set for another controller.
I am afraid this problem just get exponential the more users and
organizations and roles there are.....
Just thinking out loud......
what if I make the Org a requester, instead of an ACO? does this
make it easier?
or change the aro tree, so the user is the parent, and the org and org
groups/roles are the children. Does this work?
