Bug Description

it is possible to make the executable only readable for admins or exclude a user from the group.
linux has groups for this. when an application is set to group admin and world access on R+W+X is 0 it won't show in slingshot for users who aren't in the admin group

Changed in switchboard-plug-parental-controls:
milestone: loki-alpha1 → loki-beta1

In order to do this Slingshot would need to support it, by retrieving the data from already created by the plug config file for each user that is restricted: /.config/app-lock.conf.

Slingshot already supports this. I have tested it by hand. All executables are usual in /usr/bin/

milestone: none → loki+1-beta1

This is important to implement. Some restricted applications are capable of running even when they are restricted (teeworlds, Minetest, etc). This is a thing i would like to have.
