> I have doubts whether we should allow third-party systems to create and update, delete entries. I don't think this is expected because **we store metadata** from the execution of a specific task there. We don't want other systems to be able to **affect task execution**. For customizable configuration, we have variables. I agree here. I think that users should not be able to update XCom, TaskInstance and other "task execution-related" entities. > Hm.. I could imagine having multiple airflow instances which might want to share those xcom values with each other. WDYT? I think in this case read only access should be enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
