I am wondering whether there is an easy way to block high privilege APIs on 
WAF. For example, for security reasons customers might want to block remote 
access to root admin APIs or limit access to domain admin APIs to certain IP 
addresses.

It can be easily done on WAF if we have separate API endpoints for root 
admin/domain admin/end user APIs. For example, in case of VMWare vCloud 
Director, APIs accessible only to system admins are under 
http://hostname/cloud/api/1.0/admin/extension and this can be easily blocked on 
a WAF.

Our API is not pure REST API and we do not have separate endpoints. Is there 
any easy way to block high privilege APIs other than blocking the commands one 
by one in the WAF?

Thanks.
