What if you wanted that specific user to drop into a specific context so
you could tailor what was accessable for that user.

Simple idea would be like a account I had opened up on my system for a
potential overseas employee. This person had no need to be able to make
calls to anywhere our switch allowed. I dropped the user into a specific
context that only allowed dialing of a few specific phone numbers.

This is different than say anyone else in our organization who have full
run of the switch.
