All,

I was just answering a question on StackOverflow[1] about limiting the
operations a particular user could perform when using the manager app
(e.g. deploy, undeploy, start, stop, etc.).

It seems to me that this has come up on the users' list once or twice
in the past, and it wouldn't be a big deal to support this kind of
thing right out of the box by just defining a number of additional
roles such as:

   manager-gui-deploy
   manager-gui-undeploy
   manager-gui-start
   etc.

Is there any interest in doing something like this? My general feeling
is that manager access should either be allowed read-only (which is
covered by the "manager-status" role) or full read/write (which is
covered by the "manager-gui" and "manager-sript" roles) because hey,
you should trust your managers or fire them ;)

On the other hand, if there is significant interest in this kind of
thing, we should support it out of the box.

Thanks,
- -chris
