Yeah, you can restrict access. Until one of those lovely privilege escalation exploits is in the wild :D Don't get me wrong, as a customer I'd love shell access. But as a supplier I'd prefer not to give "anyone" access at that level. It's just one more security risk you take and if someone exploits it, he could take down all customer accounts on the same machine. Now that situation would make you look moronic.
