BeOS had pretty much no concept of users and process segmentation. Basically anybody who can enter a password has unrestricted access to everything and all programs can run with equal privileges, à la DOS/Amiga/macOS_classic/Windows9x. This is fine for a workstation (maybe?) but definitely not suitable for hosting server applications and daemons that you want to be run in restricted security contexts.
