Hello Andrea,
That actually seems to be what they are looking for, filter based
security was another thing they are interested in.
How would this plugin integrate with GeoWebCache?
Cheers
Niels

With all these things in mind, what do you think is the best
approach here.
How does everyone think of the idea of extending the current
security system with this feature ? Would such a proposal pass?
Are there any other concerns I should be aware of?
Personally not against extending the existing one.
However I'd like to toss in one more data point. Geosolutions is going
to release, in the next few days GeoFence, a open source advanced
security plugin for GeoServer (plus stand alone rule config
application) that has several interesting features, including the ones
you're looking at:
* setup rules mixing user/roles, services request and data
* rule setup and evaluation following an iptables style (first one
matching wins)
* filter returned data based on CQL filters (including thus spatial
filtering, but not limited to it)
* reduce the number of returned attributes
* cut raster data on a specified geometry
* force a specific layer style based on the current user
This old blog post talks a bit about it, with some screenshots (it
still refers to it as GeoRepository, its old name).

The git repo should be opened up in the next few days, have a look at:
https://github.com/geosolutions-it
I'll let you know when the public release is done
Cheers
Andrea
