It's a bit short on info. Servicegroups should be visible if the user
is a contact for any service in the group. If a user who has no auth
options and is not a contact for any service can see all servicegroups,
then yes, that's potentially a security issue.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
