By reading the entry 'Security Controls' at:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011_Ideas#Security_Contr…
I assume that some implementation is missing in SRM for multiuser support,
am I right ?
Then, I do not know what working on user accounts apply exactly, that's
why I would like to talk
with developers who worked on this area in order to get a better overview.

Again I think it depends on what is actually missing in RoS for multiuser
security controls.
I can talk about it with others developers.

Are there specific bugs I could try to fix ?
