restrict export access
Compass currently allow any user to export data to his local file system, I think it's necessary to add restrictions so that the admin user can specify which user can or can not export data

From Compass' perspective, exporting data is the same as running a query and is therefore subject to the same permissions at the db level.
Who is the "admin" this your scenario? The admin of the computer? If yes, then I suppose they could restrict the user from writing to disk on the machine where Compass runs. We do have customers that make their users to use Compass installed on a sandboxed VM for this type of restricted access use cases.
