I understand a user can not directly access mysite.com/users/admin_index

Instead they go to mysite.com/admin/users/index

But, is there any automatic security checking? Because anyone can type in
mysite.com/admin/users/index

Is it still up to the UsersController to filter out unauthorized users?
such as have an IsAuthorized setting, or the function admin_index still
needs to check the user's privileges and reject the request if the user
doesn't have admin privs?

In which case I don't see the advantage of using the admin_ prefix. Seems
like a big security problem if every controller function needs to check the
user's privileges. Is there a better way I'm missing?

Can IsAuthorized somehow say only admin users are allowed to run admin
functions?
