Bug Description

A user needs to go through all this in order to use `juju ssh`:

* Reminds/ensures the Juju admin to create a user and grant him/her 'admin' access to the model;
  which probably confers other rights that the user should not have like destroying the model
  ('superuser' rights are actually needed but this may be a bug)

* Installs Juju and registers the controller

* Learns a new tool and concepts

* Logs in to the controller

This process is cumbersome and very easy to circumvent by using direct access with a standard SSH client.

1. Is there some way to enforce `juju ssh`?

2. Do we want the documentation to suggest that `juju ssh` is more of an administrator's convenient troubleshooting tool (which it is; it's great)? Otherwise, it all ends up looking a bit awkward on paper.
