Hi all, thank you for the clarifications. They are very helpful to figure out how access control is managed in dataStore resource. So just to confirm that my thoughts are right:
- Access to reserved namespaces is only allowed to users with access to the corresponding app. - Access to non-reserved namespaces is allowed to everybody. I have checked this in demo server: a user with "Guest" role can create and read an arbitrary namespace. Is there plan to modify this behavior in the future, I mean, to protect non-reserved namespaces? We are about to build an app that make use of "public" or non-reserved namespaces, and it is important for us to know if the access control is going to change. Thanks!
