asterisk users - Jun 2005 - GUI that supports virtual PBX's/users

A friend of mine runs a small office building, 10-15 tenants. Each have
their own company, their own thing, renting space from him. His main PBX
is getting dated and his tenants are complaining. I was telling him about
Asterisk but his main concern is he doesn't want to have to always be the
one to add/remove extensions, or change the IVR hours or whatever.  

Does anybody know of a free or even a commercial (he's got money) GUI for
Asterisk that will support multiple logins that have restricted access to
Asterisk? Like Tenant A log's in, he can control his stuff specifically,
extensions and such, can't do anything insane like restart the server or
shutdown Asterisk.  Tenant B log's in and he can control his stuff
specifically, etc.  

I looked at AMP but AMP is like an all or nothing deal, it has complete
control of the config files, no way to section off users and contexts and
such.  It's designed for a dedicated system to one person/company. Any
commercial offerings or anything else?

Deon,

I have a product I'm working on that does exactly what your friend is 
looking for, I'll send you an email directly with contact information.

It's basically a three level Web GUI, providing system management by the 
owner (who assigns DID's and lower level management rights), Company 
level management (who adds end users, routes did's / extensions, manages 
IVR, conference configs, company speed dials, company blacklist, etc.) 
and a User level including follow-me configuration, personal speed dial 
and black/white lists.

You can create separate users in amp to only allow user to certain items on
the setup menu and contain them to an extension or range of extensions. 

You will have to setup up a table in the AMP DB and modify the config for
AMP.

If you are looking for something that has control over separate IVR this
will not do that. There have been a couple of people trying to modify AMP
(including ourselves if we had some more help) to do this but have not heard
anything yet.

You can contact me off list or post in the AMP users list
