I had actually never thought about this specifically before this
discussion, but after deploying v0.3 I realized that network
modification and tunnel up/down are /not/ one and the same!
It makes sense that an employee, or even I when running as a non-admin,
would be able to up/down interfaces; but not create, modify or delete
them. It's the same with software: a standard user cannot install it or
uninstall it, but [s]he can use it.
I think this model really works well. I'm happy with it.
