Trusted people!?
Are you checking their ID at the door?

All you have in terms of trust are their credentials.
You don't want to allow many, many things TTW, even if they logged in  
with the trusted credentials.

Otherwise, you give them the same credentials on your physical machine  
that serves that app (e.g. they import os TTW).

Finally, even if you are fine with allowing that because you trust  
them, who guarantees that every login with those credentials is really  
that trusted person?
