I don't know if this would be centralized enough for you, but I'm fond
of using ActionClass attributes to mark which actions require some
certain precondition to be met before they're allowed to be run. You
can redirect them to your 'disallowed' page rather than running the
action in question if they have the "hands off" flag set on their
account.

I'm working on an app where users must authenticate (via
CatalystX::SimpleLogin and a custom ActionRole). At
times, users may engage in activity which temporarily makes
it impossible to take any other action. Hypothetical
example: users kick off a job which takes 5 minutes to run,
so we restrict their ability to do *anything* else for that
5 minutes. Thus, it would be nice if I could globally
redirect any authenticated user to something like
/user/waiting/ or something like that.
Er, actually that would be "disallow any actions requiring
authentication". Some portions of the (FAQs, for example) don't
require authentication. Thus, if "before execute" was the way to go,
I'd need to know whether or not the user is taking an action
requiring authentication.
Cheers,
Ovid
