Andrey, Alexey thank you for the feedback!

Yes, it would be useful. Existing SecuritySubject and SecurityContext
require reworking.

user-role-permission model

Completely agree it is a cool idea. Ignite should have more default
implementation referred to security.

> Should we have a community meeting to discuss this?

Yes, it would be great.
The wish list for Ignite 3 does not contain security improvement that,
IMHO, is wrong.
We should fix that oversight on early-stage Ignite 3 development.
