It came about from a requirement driven around roles so that was the suggested limiter. The example would be someone with a role of "Sales Rep" who works in house answering calls, processing paperwork might easily deal with 200 a day where as someone operating as "Sales Consultant" in the field visiting clients personally might only deal with 20 a day.
They both have security to access the same client view but the user request was to limit them with a differing number of allowed accesses based on their roles. If that needs to be translated in to security groups for implementation to fit in with OFBiz practices then fine, I'm not struck to it being roles. This was thought to be a generally useful feature others might be interested in hence we are trying to make it compatible for the community.
