[Anthill-pro] Roles

[Eric Minick]

Ken,

We're making the one concurrent login at a time restriction optional. 
For high security organizations, they can turn it on, everyone else can 
turn it off and have an easier life. I think optional security settings 
are going to be a trend going forward. For instance, a no password guest 
account with view permissions would make sense for an open source 
project, but be a bad idea for a bank.
