Can I use skins to give customers access in a limited capacity, create a user account called customer or whatever and a customer group that has limited access like no winbox, etc. Let them manage their wireless, internal subnets, port forwards, whatever? What I saw glancing at the metarouter thing seems like its a bigger deal than I wanted to get into, but if I could create a generic skin for the customer login to load in each one, that would be slick
