+## Druid security trust model
+Like all other security systems, trust is the foundation of the Druid security
model. Druid administrators and read-only users are trusted users. Therefore,
they are not expected to act maliciously.
Review comment:
@techdocsmith It is possible that a security flaw can be exploited where
a read only user elevates their permissions. This would be a very serious
attack vector, so having a security model that says a read only user should not
act maliciously seems counter-intuitive to me.
All security flaws are because someone is acting maliciously. The question
then is what are the levels of defense in the system. That's what I thought a
security trust model is.
