My opinion (for what it's worth) is that if someone has been granted
"inside" access to configurator-level functions, then he should be trusted
enough to NOT run commands unrelated to his function.  Now, confusing or
misleading commands that can be run by mistake are entirely different.  My
biggest headache has been closing the doors which Foxboro products leave
open as "standard", such as access to block detail from the alarm managers
and standard button bar.  Of course, system backups are the obvious
"repair" strategy.
