Currently, there is no way to assign several permission bits to
different users. The only division we have is RO vs RW connection. In RO
connection users can just gather info about domains/networks/etc. while
in RW they can do anything. However, the ACLs have been requested
several times and they are being worked on. But it's a huge amount of
work so I don't really know the exact date when they're released. In
fact, it's Dan Berrange who's working on it so he has some more details.
