Exclude roles from aggregation [#2293331]

It would be great to have a ability to exclude a user role from serving the aggregated versions of css and js. That would be a great benefit in a development szenario if you want to have the aggregation enabled for all non admins. Its not enough to clear the aggregation cache with every page load for the admin role because i'm using omega 4 with the livereload feature that don't support by design aggregated files.

Would the advagg bypass cookie be enough? Go to admin/config/development/performance/advagg/operations and under "Aggregation Bypass Cookie" you can set how long you wish to bypass cookie to last. This will then display a message letting you know that the bypass cookie has been set. You can disable this message by adding this to your settings.php file

$conf['advagg_show_bypass_cookie_message'] = FALSE;

You can also add ?advagg=0 to the URL to get the same affect (requires the "bypass advanced aggregation" permission).

There is also development mode which will scan all CSS/JS files and rebuild the aggregates after every page load. Go to admin/config/development/performance/advagg and select Development under "AdvAgg Cache Settings".
