[Geoserver-users] Is it possible to upload layers to a workspace without admin permission?

Hi.

Is it possible to upload a layer to a workspace if the user does not
have admin permissions?

This thread [1] said that is not possible and i made a couple of tests
with the rest interface and it seems that be admin is a must

But maybe there is some workaround. For example, i'm thinking in give
it admin permission in the ws only via rest and disallow login in the
web interface but i don't know if this possible...

The other option i'm thinking is setup a wps importer process to allow
upload layers without give the user permission to configure new
datastores and so on in the workspace.

Any advice will be really appreciated.

Thanks
