The basic problem here is that for a single resource, the Operations tab when the user doesn't have permission, should disable the operations links and show a message that the user doesn't have permission.   This is already implemented for groups.

<jweiss> ghinkle: i'm also noticing a strange discrepancy between the operation tab of the group top level resource (AS Servers) and a single AS Server's Operation tab.  in the group, the tab shows "You do not have permissions to execute operations on this group " and the links are disabled.  the single resource has no such message, the links are enabled, and when you click them you get a message about not having permission.
 the former seems like the proper way to deny permission on the op tab.  why 2 implementations?
 wait, what i mean is not, 'why do the internals require 2 impls', but rather even if there are two internal impls, why do they look different in the UI
<ghinkle> jweiss: i haven't gotten around to fixing the resource version... just the group version
<jweiss> ghinkle: ok, is there a jira for it?  i'm not going to push for fixing in 2.2 but needs to be tracked
<ghinkle> not sure
<jweiss> i'll write one if i can't find it
