Description

It could be useful to have a special user group named "blacklist" to be able to quickly block a user from having access to anything. The authorization code would check for users to be a member of that group, and if so, negate any other access.

User's current reservations should not be reloaded. The frontend could change the state to something like 'freeze'. The backend would then kill any connections, block access, and possibly power computers off.
