Currently, managedBy is our own attribute where we can put DNs of other host
entries that can manage/edit the host. So you are right, you could partially
solve this use case with managedBy.

User adding a new host would, however, need to pre-fill managedBy with own DN
so that it is acknowledged as host "manager". On the other side, creatorsName
is an LDAP operational attribute filled automatically. So IMO it would fit the
use case described in the ticket better.

But as you see, there are different approaches to do that, which confirms my
intent to only provide API for creating this type of permissions and let user
create it himself.
