In many cases it would be good to know if an operation is allowed before it is attempted. Especially when designing a client application that talks to Fedora it can be quite frustrating for a user to fill in a large form only to learn when pressing "submit" that he is actually not allowed to perform this operation. Ideally the client tests this before displaying the form and disables it (or the submit button) to save the user the pointless effort. Can we add a policy API which allows users to do so?
It seems that this could be done with minimal effort since all the functionality is already there. All that's needed is to expose the authorization checks as separate web-service calls. Cheers, Carsten
