    Very well said, in the former case however the admin controls the risk,
    in the latter case it's the users realm. (The users realm is a scary
    place!)

    In my opinion admin controlled risks > user controlled risks and is why
    I'd personally favour even a hacky attempt at controlling the app by the
    admin.
