All I can answer is the aside; so, I cut the rest out. The reason for the user check is limited resources. We don't want users making a reservation for 4 hours, using it for 30 minutes, and then leaving it sitting there unused for 3.5 hours. You can disable the user checks for the "server instance" case you brought up by going to Manage Images->Edit Image Profiles->Edit (for the desired image)->Advanced Options and set "Check for logged in user" to no. However, even in this case, the user still needs to click the Connect button at least once for that reservation.
