Comment:

 Brian has ideas and even, IIUC, a working prototype that controls access
 to a WUI.

 This ticket is related to #1455, #1859, #1447, #1215, #860, #855, #587.
 I'm not sure if is is a duplicate of one of them or some combination of
 them. luckredhot: could you please clarify this ticket by spelling out
 what would allow us to close this ticket as "fixed"? I think it might be
 something like "All and only people who've been explicitly authorized by
 the node admin can use the WUI.". Does that sound right?

 Brian: please advise on how this ticket should be written.
