But what's the alternative? Teach the user how to do all these things?
You can expose layers of API. The lowest layer makes no changes to the
security context. A higher (optional) layer could do dynamic labelling.
It's infinitely flexible, but it's not an API you can give to
a
management tool developer.
I think the goal of a management API should be to make common things
very simple to do but not preclude doing even the most advanced things.
