Hi, guys.
this pr was implemented long time ago:
https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/pull/4058
this pr's target is `Add protect feature to avoid update or delete actions`
There several points, i want to discuss
1. Which entity need to be protected when update or delete?
There has several entities in openwhisk, e.g. package, action
I think package and action also need to be protected when update or
delete. may be have others?
2. How to protect?
there has an option: use `unix style` as @babbah said.
Because original unix style is `aaabbbccc`, `aaa` is the owner's
permission(include read/write/execute). `bbb` is the same group of the owner'
permission.
`ccc` is other users's permission.
Our own openwhisk, it seems can be like below
1. `the own user for the entity` (this is same as unix's `aaa`)
2. it seems have no corresponding concept of unix's `bbb` here
3. others users(this is same as unix's `ccc`)
so we can assume, if user create action with unix style like this:
`77`, the owner have `read/write/execute` permission, and the other user also
have `read/write/execute` permission
if user creates action with `55`, the owner have `read/not
write/execute` permission, and other users have `read/not write/execute`
permission as well.
