Authentication of Requests to Platform

Requests shall include a header named "sessionToken" whose value is that returned by the Initiate Session request, above.  (The session will timeout eventually, with a nominal duration of 24 hours.)

For requests that fail to be authenticated the response will include the headers:

WWW-Authenticate: authenticate Crowd

and a plain text body:  "The token provided was invalid or expired."

API for Authorization

Create Access Control List for a Resource

POST http://repositoryservice.sagebase.org/repo/v1/resource/{rid}/acl
{"foo":["bar"]}

This overrides the inheritance of permissions from an owner object, in favor of assigning permissions directly to the given object.

Get Access Control List for a Resource

GET http://repositoryservice.sagebase.org/repo/v1/resource/{rid}/acl

Returns the ACL for the node responsible for the given node's permissions.

Update Access Control List for a Resource

PUT http://repositoryservice.sagebase.org/repo/v1/resource/{rid}/acl
{"foo":["bar"]}

Delete Access Control List for a Resource

DELETE http://repositoryservice.sagebase.org/repo/v1/resource/{rid}/acl

This deletes the given object's ACL, restoring its dependence on its owner's permissions.

Get the principals who can be added to a resource's ACL

GET http://repositoryservice.sagebase.org/repo/v1/principals

Open question: should we add pagination to these results?
