Decision of binding owncloud instances only by admins was made for
save resources and restrict access to information about instance.
Binding between instances should allow instances to exchange
information like userlist, groups etc.
Obviously accessing sharing only by single user should also by
available, but i dont remember did i point it out while proposal
review.

Project beeing api instead of app, im not sure how that was mixed up.
file sharing app was suppose to be example of api usage
