The locked/unlocked icon pairing is great for indicating black and white
states of access - closed/open, but what about a semi-open state?

If an application has functions that perform usefully without
authenticating, but can provide more extensive operations with
authorization, what is the best way to represent that to the user?

How about a lock icon accompanied by a lock status message-- e.g. when locked down, put a message next to the lock reading "click the lock for [whatever the extra feature(s) are]".
