Anything on the issue of permissions for manager actions?

For instance, the Originate action is too powerful, as it allows the 
originator to originate a call to an arbitrary context and using an
arbitrary application. Hence can instruct Asterisk to run a System()
command.

Is there a need for a more limited Originate-like action?

What is the meaning of each of the permissions we have?

What exactly is the meaning of the "log" permission?
What exactly is the meaning of the "system" permission? What is
read=system?
