Role based security model

Don Weeks

I would like to see a role based security model. Where we could assign different users of our radios different privileges based on a set of criteria. For instance, an owner role with all privileges, a no transmit role, a role that would only allow preset profiles to be used, or a contest specific role limiting them to a particular band or antenna system. 

I have a fear of anyone else using my radio. I would not mind showing it off in a "listen only mode" like a websdr. But I don't want to give out transmit capabilities. I also would want to disable users or lock them out for say antenna maintenance, lightening storms, or other work where the radio might be up but other pieces in the shack are under going maintenance or my own testing. I might switch out an antenna and therefore limit the bands available. There are things that you must convey to someone using your system remotely that are just not obvious without a deep knowledge of the other systems around it (antenna, amp, tuner, etc). Preventing someone from "accidentally" making a mistake by limiting their privileges to just what can be done to me would be a great security enhancement.
