 Description   
Currently, the permission has to be configured through choosing subtree which is not very flexible in case of very complicated configuration trees. The desire originally comes from one of QuickBuild customer and is described as below:

I'm starting to have a pretty complicated tree of builds in my production Quickbuild server. I have the need to view certain subsets of the configuration tree that are not simple subtrees.
 
For example, for every dev build, I have a configuration:
 
root.dev.ProductName
 
Each one of these has a child:
 
root.dev.ProductName.CI
 
which inherits most of the information from its parent, but only runs tests and generates reports.
 
I would like a view of the configuration tree that has all of the root.dev.*.CI configurations, for example, which is not a simple subtree.
 
Do you have any plans to add a feature like this in the future?
 
I think Quickbuild is a great tool, and I could see using it to effectively manage many aspects of our development infrastructure as our company grows, but without proper management features like configurable views and central management tools, usability could become a nightmare rather quickly.
