Not easily possible, as a DIR always can do everything.

The way I would solve this is to run one central DIR only, create 
restricted consoles with suitable ACLs for the remote users, and 
configure a bconsole on their machines. Give each of those users their 
own pools.

They can connect the DIR and run their own jobs, restore them, access 
their own catalog entries (jobs, storages, pools, etc., but can not 
access other users entries.

Hope this helps,

Arno

If I can not trust your mail addressing, how do I know I am an 
intended addressee? Or, in other words, am I even allowed to answer 
your mail?

(Actually, I believe this sort of disclaimer is utter nonsense... I 
know some organizations enforce them, but I believe the legal value of 
such a disclaimer is limited, to say the least...)
