If a user navigates to a Domain that they don't have access to, then the UI frame will load successfully (since they have the 'user' privilege), but then in the background all the REST calls to retrieve data will fail with 403 (Access Denied) errors. This isn't shown in the UI in any way though - and without Firebug or a similar debug console, it isn't even possible to see that it is occurring.

The UI should show some kind of error message indicating that background calls are failing.
