The only way to accomplish this is to have each subprocess that requires
write access run
with it's own afs token and only allow write access by that token.

This problem has been solved, but it's not simple. I think at a minimum
you'll need a "cgi"
server in addition to your main server. You'll also need to manage keytabs
for each of the
cms servers. Stanford has done this, but it's been so long I've forgotten
the exact details.
