I think its hugely helpful from an administrative perspective.  Essentially,
what you're talking about is providing different views of the Permissions
system for a Horde Admin.  I was hinting at this on the last line of my last
entry of ticket #2118 and thats really the crux of that whole ticket - to
provide different ways of viewing permissions - for an object, for a 
group, for
a user, etc.  It is often the case that you will have certain users who are
assigned additional priveleges, and it would be much easier to assign them all
within a User view, then when in the general Horde Permissions view.
