Having thought about my recent dialogue about CDROM door locking it occurs to 
me that we really have two different classes of users with different 
requirements. It then occurred to me that perhaps the behaviour of the CDROM 
should be determined by the "Role" the workstation is playing. For example if 
the role is "workstation" then the user should be allowed to eject the cd at 
any time and the eject facility on the CDROM drive should not be disabled. 
Whereas if the role is multiuser focused (eg server or say terminal server) 
then the CD door should be locked when it is busy.

There are probably dozens of other instances like this where behaviour should 
be tailored to role. Perhaps we need to consider infrastructure to do this.
