Remember that it is an administration console, not an end-user application.  So there's no real benefit to requiring a login - not from an evaluation perspective, or a prototyping perspective.

I tend to disagree.... part of it is an administration console, part is simulating the process.. changing roles/users should be possible with seeing limited taskslists. Maybe the following thing sounds stupid, but if this (imo) basic functionality is not in the console, I will never get it soled to the managers here. It is then not usable for rapid prototyping and we need to develop a full webapp just to simulate the basics of a process. hmm....

I tend to disagree to. Often we create dummy users with the role in their name and a number added to it. Easily remembered and very usable. So the issue of the list on the homepage is not a real issue.
