Depends on what "accessing an appliance" means here. If you talk about
accessing it through the WebYaST interface, I guess we are talking about
a very limited set of users.
If we talk about the users that access the appliance by other means
depeding on the appliance the number can be quite large I guess :).

Are there any plans to extend that to external sources at some point? I
can think of use cases where it might make perfect sense to allow WebYaST
Users being managed in a Directory. The access policies might fit there
as well.
