            Bug ID: 36561
           Summary: Inappropriate permission for
                    "/api/v1/auth/password/validation"
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Today I was looking to replace a third-party's usage of ILS-DI
AuthenticatePatron with the REST API's "/api/v1/auth/password/validation", when
I realized that it would mean giving the third-party much greater Koha
permission than they currently have.

"/api/v1/auth/password/validation" requires the "borrowers" permission, which
gives you full access to all borrower data. 

I don't think that's what we want to give a third-party that really just needs
to validate that a patron is an authentic member of Koha. 

I think that we might need a new permission class. I don't have a perfect name
for it yet, but I'm thinking about it. Here's some ideas:

- Discovery
- External
- API
- Web services
- Third-party

--

That way, we can have third-party API users that are narrowly scoped to just
what they need to do.
