    Thanks, that seems to work.

    The next blocker to having a non-superuser remote worker is the adding
    the dispatcher_ip, which also requires superuser privileges[1], and
    doesn't appear to have an individual user permission ACL.

    Assuming ZMQ encryption between master/slave, is it possible to have a
    remote worker without admin privileges?  Is this something that has
    been validated?


No. Adding and managing workers is solely a superuser task because such operations can fundamentally change the topology of the lab and undermine ongoing CI.

JSM: @Neil:  but for this we have the ACL's . So why not *enable* ppl to do this if they choose so by granting the ACL. The superuser flag is IMHO just a shortcut for 'ALL ACL'.

Here is the use-case:
- Remove lab being brought up. Keys exchanged, the remote lab should be able to register and manager its internal settings (like dispatcher_ip) .

dispatcher_ip is a good example. B/C the *server* admin does not need to know this. It is in the domain of the admin of the *worker lab*.
