Hi,
+1 for OAuth2. Because publisher APIs can be use in mobile devices.
Ex -: customer implements mobile app to publish assets

Also need to think about how customer can extend (customize) the security
with our extension model.
Ex-: Customer writes a extended publisher API and need to give different
grant types and  roles

Also , I think better to maintain one security mechanism, rather than
secure some apis with oAuth2 and some apis with Basic Authentication.



Thanks
