At least 3 modes of operation would be interesting: "read only mode" - anything works but no changes upon configuration are allowed, no deletes and (likely) no user-commands - you can sit anyone in front of your system and need no worry "read/record/delete" - anything allowed but no changes on configuration (aka channels, setup, plugins) - girlfriend mode ;-) "full access" - aka administration mode, well...
