[pve-devel] [PATCH v1 access-control++ 0/5] SuperUser privilege

[Fabian Grünbichler]

see individual patches for in-depth review of changes, some broader 
remarks:
- I am missing info about parts you looked at but left as-is (and 
  rationale for why those parts stay root only)
- especially relevant would be a list of currently 
  unqualified/root-only-by-default API endpoints and actions taken or 
  not taken + reasons

e.g. some parts that are missing that I found with random grepping (in 
addition to stuff I mentioned in my other replies), where I have no idea 
whether you even look at them and decided they are okay as-is, or missed 
them:

- PVE::API2::Backup (tmpdir, dumpdir, script parameters)
- PVE::API2::VZDump (maxfiles prune-backups tmpdir dumpdir script bwlimit ionice)
- PVE::API2::ClusterConfig (we talked about that off-list, but some 
  mention in the actual patch series would still be good)
- PVE::Storage::check_volume_access , which is used in quite a few 
  places..
