[p4] counters and what permissions are needed to access/set them.

[Stephen Vance]

There is no way to control access to a specific counter other than the 
special counters that require "super" and the -f option to change like 
"journal," and "change".

"Review" is a subset of "super." Everything is a subset of "super". 
"Review" is higher than write but lower than admin and has some 
capabilities of its own to support its purpose.

I think you'll need another mechanism. Why not an administrative depot 
or section of your depot with the value in a file or as the name of a 
file? You can control the permissions tightly on that.
