Hi Dough,

Thank you for pointing to this code. As I see you use OpenStack policy
framework but not Pecan security features. How do you implement fine grain
access control like user allowed to read only, writers and admins. Can you
block part of API methods for specific user like access to create methods
for specific user role?

Thanks
Georgy
