Hello,

How can I restrict access via RestAPI for the user such that they can only 
get their own records (those that have the field user_id matching their 
user id)?

For example, I have a a table named 'collections' that has a 'user_id' 
field, and I want my users to get only the collections that they created.

If they try to get someone else's collection, then they should get a 'not 
authorized' response.

As an extension, I would also like to allow for users to be able to get 
someone else's collection if its status is equal to 'PUBLIC'.

Here's the definition of my collections table:

db.define_table('collections',
Field('user_id', db.auth_user, notnull=True),
Field('language_code', length="3", requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'language.code', 
db.language._format), notnull=True),
Field('title', length=512, notnull=True),
Field('description', 'text', notnull=False),
Field('privacy', length=50, requires=IS_IN_SET(privacy_set), notnull=True, 
default='PRIVATE'),
Field('level',length=10, requires=IS_IN_SET(level_set), notnull=True, 
default='NONE'))

Thanks,

--
Alexei
