Could you explain this more in depth?

What you describe looks like you propose to add a line:

joerg::::defaultpriv=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr

to /etc/user_attr which would be honored by PAM during login.

This is not what I like to see.

What I like to see is that only specific programs like cdrecord
would get the permissions to do more than joe user.
