There is a longer-term project to provide a library for users to
consume, and not call uadmin(2) directly (in fact, we want to
discourage this practice, as it doesn't properly audit).
As the library is a bit more complex, and there is immediate need
for a (simple) cli, this wraps the equivilent calls (with proper audit
and authorization calls) till they can be included in the new library
(that project will need to also update this command to use those
calls, but that is a different project and case).
