At a global level there is separate control for insert, delete, update.

At a low technical level this is not quite true.  You could choose your 
GeoServerFeatureSource/Store wrapper when you set up your global.Data 
object. This would control read/write access since the 
TransactionResponse class will correctly error out if write access is 
not available.

But the intent of this message is sound, extend the fine grained insert, 
delte, update access control down to the FeatureType level.
