REST authorization
Hello,

This might be a simple question that I have missed the answer to, but I would like to limit the authenticated users who may utilize the REST service. Is there a way to do this? ideally something Role based.

Thanks,
JAA

RE:REST authorization
No, the REST service usage cannot be restricted this way. However, the REST service itself uses permissions defined in the CMS, so if someone has restricted access to a document for example, he will not be able to use REST service to get it either.
