If a user isn't able to write to the web server, or stand up any a
server on any "privileged" port, can they really be said to exercise
"control" over that server?  I certainly wouldn't consider that to be
a strong enough signal.

I think that these users will have to rely on access to the
.well-known tree if they are genuinely admins, but limited in their
access to the metal.  That might be more disruptive to their ongoing
operations, but I don't see any alternative that would satisfy me that
this isn't just some guy who happened to get shell access to a
machine.
