1) Please explain what this means. What kind of access control you are
talking about? In your application? You are looking to have something
like HBAC library but for services that can be reused by applications?
2) Please answer above and file an RFE
3) The RFE would most likely get into a pile and sit there for couple
years as we have other things that seem more pressing so contributing
the code for something like this would be a good option. We can help and
guide. Are you interested?

Thanks
Dmitri
