GDPS Granular security for Panels

Instead of having just access or no access to the GDPS panels it would be nice to grant Read or Update access to specific functions.

    Role-based security is important to protect the different functionality within GDPS.

    High priority.
    I also would like to have more granularity concerning access right to GDPS functions.
    Even if I normally have fully access to all GDPS functions I would like to have the possibility to start GDPS in browse mode to reduce risk if I only want to see some information's.
