   i'm finally getting to this - sorry for the delay. the general direction 
here seems ok. i like that it doesn't particularly impose anything on providers 
who implement Gremlin Server protocol - it just introduces a companion to 
authentication interfaces. 
   
   I think `Authorizer` would be better as an interface with just the:
   
   ```java
   public AuthorizedUser authorize(final AuthenticatedUser user, final 
RequestMessage msg) throws AuthorizationException
   ```
   
   and some kind of `AbstractAuthorizer` that has your "preprocessing" as a 
base for folks to implement from. 
   
   I might have more to say about `AuthorizationHandler`, `AuthorizedUser` and 
the default `Authorization` implementation but for the most part it seems 
simple and straightforward enough. Now that I've looked at this in detail, I 
will be able to think about it more specifically in coming days. Thanks.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: server
>    Affects Versions: 3.4.7
>            Reporter: Shekhar Bansal

>
> Use case:
>  # Tinkerpop supports multiple graphs using a single API and admin might want 
> to restrict access to some of the graphs.
>  # Admin might want to restrict read/write access to certain users.
>  
> Proposal
> Add read/write access restrictions at graph level. We can extend it to 
> executing scripts by adding execute privileges.
>  
> Changes required
> Add `authorizer` block similar to `authentication` block in yaml file
>  
> {code:java}
> authorization: {
>   authorizer: 
> org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.server.authorization.AllowAllAuthorizer,
>   authorizationHandler: 
> org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.server.handler.SaslAuthorizationHandler,
>   config: {
>    }
> }{code}
>  
> Authorization will be done only if authentication is enabled. Authentication 
> is done at per session basis while authorization will be done for each and 
> every request.
> In `SaslAuthorizationHandler` or `HttpAuthorizationHandler` query will be 
> parsed and depending on the step instructions, the query will be marked as of 
> type read or write and then privilege evaluation will be done by calling 
> `isAccessAllowed` method of `Authorizer`
> {code:java}
> public interface Authorizer {
>     /**
>      * Whether or not the authorization requires check.
>      * If false will not authorzie user.
>      */
>     public boolean requireAuthorization();
>     /**
>      * Setup is called once upon system startup to initialize the {@code 
> Authorizer}.
>      */
>     public void setup(final Map<String, Object> config);
>     /**
>      * A "standard" authorization implementation
>      */
>     public boolean isAccessAllowed(AuthorizationRequest authorizationRequest) 
> throws AuthorizationException;
> }
> {code}
> Access policies can be defined in tools like `Apache Ranger`, sample policy:
