> API has one method for each of the _actions_ supported (Register Framework,
> Launch Task and Shutdown Framework), and each of these _actions_ themselves
> define the _objects_ on which they operate.
> Currently, in case a new action needs to be authorized it is necessary to
> modify the {{mesos::Authorizer}} interface and all its implementations
> (currently only {{mesos::LocalAuthorizer}}), and add a new nested message to
> the {{ACL}} message in {{mesos.proto}}.
> An update to the API should allow for new _actions_ and _objects_ to be added
> without the need to change the {{mesos::Authorizer}} interface while
> encapsulating implementation details on how the authorization process is
> performed.
