I believe that is true. The difference is that the platform is a bit
more complex than the the stock chef server. We bolt on other pieces
to the open source code, like multi-tenant support, and support for
Access Control Lists (ACL). Consequently, the list of things we expect
a user to be able to do against the platform is different than the
things another client, typically a server, would do. This was an
unexpected use case, so there was some discussion about how to re-work
everything the Right Way.

I'm glad you are all worked out.
