[pdm-devel] [PATCH proxmox v2 4/4] access-control: allow reading all acls of the current authid

Shannon Sterz s.sterz at proxmox.com
Wed Oct 22 15:11:20 CEST 2025


adds a parameter to the `API_METHOD_READ_ACL` endpoint to allow
listing all ACL entries of the currently authenticated Authid.
allowing a user to see their own ACLs does not really exposes any
additional confidential information. however, being able to query this
information allows us, for example, to adapt ui components to a users
capabilities.
