Oh, no, sorry. CLASS is for adding --class option and --class option is
for defining icon used to represent menu entry. Please do not misuse it
for something else.
I try to understand possible use cases.
Please get a look at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2015-05/msg00170.html
thread. SUSE has actually implemented my suggestion. This gives us "all
menu entries unrestricted" case.
Do you really have situation where you need separate category of users
that won't have access to CLI but will be the *only* users allowed to
select non-default menu entry? Moreover, do you really need to allow
different users to boot different categories of menu entries?

Well, so far upstream os-prober only detects Windows on EFI. But yes,
SUSE includes additional script.
See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2015-12/msg00103.html
