Could someone make this command purpose clearer?
Is this command still useful at all?

In cobbler/action_acl.py, I read:

"Configures acls for various users/groups so they can access the cobbler command line as non-root. Now that CLI is largely remoted (XMLRPC) this is largely just useful for not having to log in (access to shared-secret) file but also grants
access to hand-edit various config files and other useful things."

Reading this, Cobbler CLI purpose becomes unclear to me. If it is supposed to be a Cobbler admin-only tool, it makes sense that is only accessibly by root user in the server. If it is supposed to be used by regular users, users should be able to run CLI from anywhere (eg their local workstations) and the
CLI should connect to remote Cobbler server using XML-RPC interface.
