chef-server-ctl doesn't show admin status

[mmzyk]

Right now it is impossible to see which user has admin rights to a given organisation.

This was originally reported as https://github.com/chef/chef-manage-issues/issues/50 by @runningman84. It has been moved here since chef-server-ctl falls under the chef server and not manage.

Thanks for moving this over @mmzyk. We'll have to think about this one. An admin user of that org should be able to do the following:

1. Install knife-acl
2. knife actor map
3. knife group show admins

To see all members of the admin group. I agree that it seems like a common administrative task that you might want to do with chef-server-ctl, but I think we'll need to put a little though into how we avoid recreating tons of knife commands in chef-server-ctl.

@stevendanna @mmzyk My initial thoughts are that anything requiring pivotal should be chef-server-ctl. Everything else should probably just be a knife command run from the workstation using the user key.

@ryancragun @mmzyk As the primary maintainer of knife-opc and knife-acl, I can confidently tell you that the plan is as follows:

• Create knife commands in core Chef for /all/ API operations, even those requiring pivtoal.
• Provide chef-server-ctl analogs to those commands (using the Chef libraries) for commands requiring pivotal.
