I'm starting to come to the conclusion that as part of this process we'll need to document a sort of "minimal viable user" -- the smallest set of user APIs that a reusable app -- including the admin -- can reasonably rely on. If we're fairly clear about this interface then it remains fairly easy to produce apps that rely on auth in an abstract way. In fact, this sort of "minimal user" might even make auth-dependant reusable apps *more* prevalent since at the moment the set of user APIs are rather nebulous and ill-specified.
