Is it possible to expand the user rights management to folders in the console ?

I enjoy the system of trees in graph, especially the hierarchy it involves.

Is it possible to expand it to the console so we create a hierarchy of devices through UO-like (or folder) and fine tune user rights on those subtrees ?

For instance, let's assume I have some core infrastructures I monitor for myself (switch, routers, servers, ...) and my client add his own devices (servers,...). We could have a hirerachy like this :

Code:

Root
  |_CoreInfrastructure
  |     |_CoreInfrastructure_dev01
  |     |_CoreInfrastructure_dev02
  |
  |_Client01_Devices
        |_Client01_Device_01
        |_Client01_Device_02


I create 1 account for my client, delegate rights to create devices, manage graphs, ... on his own subtree "Client01_Devices" only.

Sounds great to me to have sub management admins. I would really like to be able to give my local admins rights to their and only their tree.

The authentication structure changes in 0.8.8 will help facilitate this type of functionality. I think this is a good idea, but it will be implemented at a later time so that we do not have feature creep in 0.8.8.
