I found a solution, by creating a new CommandRequestHandler who 
implement HttpRequestHandlerInterface, with this Request handler, I can 
create a dummy authentication provider, who automaticaly fake a user 
with Manager role in all my Command line controller.

A bit hack, but it work. I think that this kind of feature can be 
useful in the Flow core.
