I imagine that providing a monitoring system that would, perhaps, list the
valid caps on resources, and which ones are currently being used, might
effectively make the necessary point. I'd rather educate than coddle
ignorance. I am presuming that "how to turn on security" is an ignorant
question because with SCoopFS the "security" is always on, and mystified
(debatably due to a autistic-spectrum personality flaw) by the decision to
coddle ignorance rather than educate. a "security monitor" is a feature
that does something, that can be turned on, and off after the user has
become confident -- or left on, if they like -- essentially turning up the
log verbosity.

Speak truth to power!
