Phil, you may also want to check out the authentication components we donated last week. They are currently in the scratchpad. They allow you to authenticate users and protect resources (pipelines) dependent on the authentication.

Take a look at <map:mount/>, one of possible use cases is to have one sub sitemap for every user. It could look like: <map:match pattern="~*/**"> <map:mount uri-prefix="~{1}" src="/home/{1}/cocoon_pub/" check-reload="yes"/> </map:match> Then every user who have ~/cocoon_pub directory and sitemap.xmap file under it could have own Cocoon powered site. Every user will inherit components declared in the parent sitemap, and will have no access to other user's components/configuration.
