    Subject: Invoker ID based security

Is there any support for an invoker ID based security scheme?
It seems to me it's possible to fine tune what a piece of code is
allowed to do on the basis of where it comes from but there is no
support to make such a decision on the basis of "who" is trying to
execute it.
The latter is a useful concept in a distributed objects environment.
