It seems like Slide allows one instance per VM and its security control is all 
or nothing. What are the options for implementing finer grained security?

One option might be to have root directory (or repository, space, etc.) per 
portal instance. The Portal instance administrator can assign User Groups that 
have read or write access to the per instance root directory. This root 
directory can be assigned by the administrator of the Portal. Since Slide's 
allows for one root repository, the per-portal instance root can be one of the 
sub-directories under the Slide root.

Example:
Let's say that the Slide root points to /var/jbpfiles/
And there is a directory in it named portal2files.

Someone creates a new portal instance named portal2. Then assigns portal2files 
as the root WebDav dir for this portal instance.

Users should be now accessing files under portal2 using URLs like 
http://host/portal2/files/somefile.txt.

The portal2 admins can configure which User Groups have read and which user 
groups have write access to the webdav repository. So FullAccessUsers will have 
read/write access, meaning that users logged in to portal2 that belong to 
FullAccessUsers will be able to see and create files under 
/var/jbpfiles/portal2files.

Thoughts?
