[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-1301) Support for multiple admins with specific access privileges

Support for multiple admins with specific access privileges
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1301
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1301
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.5.3
            Reporter: Alexandre Leroux
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor

Are there plans to add multiple admins capabilities in GeoServer? The feature would be about multiple admin accounts with each its own access to certain data namespaces. The intended goal would be that some admins will not be able not mess with other admin's data configuration if they have not received the proper access rights.

Andrea Aime reopened GEOS-1301:
-------------------------------

No, it's not possible. The request was for multiple admins having access each to a subset of the data. We don't have data related security control at the moment
