Venkatesh Seetharam commented on FALCON-466:
--------------------------------------------
After speaking with [~bvellanki], the code does exist for list but there are
problems applying the patch and could not see. However my earlier comment still
holds on unnecessary authorization for all resources.
> REST APIs must add the entity owner as an implicit filter

> Implement authorization for entity actions. Entity created by one user should
> not be updated/deleted by another user. Entity operations will only apply for
> the entities owned by that user.
> Entity and instance operations must add the authenticated user/owner as an
> implicit filter so the user operates on only his entities. For example: List
> will return entities belonging to the authenticated user, lifecycle
> operations such as delete/kill/suspend/resume/etc. are only applicable to the
> owner of the entity.
