Nice one Ronald.
Keep in mind though that ASTCC has an issue with free calls. There's a 
workaround in the wiki.
Not a show stopper though, even for what he wants.

Why not use  Authenticate()?
You can then set each person to be under a certain context based on 
password or extension.
Under each person's context, include other contexts that allow/limit 
their capability to call.
