Hi Daan,
I think its going to be on api-call basis.

> Currently CloudStack provides very limited IAM services and there are several drawbacks within those services:
> -  Offers few roles out of the box (user and admin) with prebaked access control for these roles. There is no way to create additional roles with customized permissions.
> -  Some resources have access control baked into them. E.g., shared networks, projects etc. 
> -  We have to create special dedicate APIs to grant permissions to resources.
> - Also it should be based on a plugin model to be possible to integrate with other RBAC implementations say using AD/LDAP in future 
> Goal for this feature would be to address these limitations and offer true IAM services in a phased manner.
> As a first phase, we need to separate out the current access control into a separate component and create a standard access check mechanism to be used by the API layer. Also the read/listing APIs need to be refactored accordingly to consider the role based access granting.
