Implement authorization
Certain endpoints/operations need a security layer, e.g. getting the list of jobs, executing processes and deploying new processes.
Yes, that is correct. To ensure the security of sensitive information and to control access to certain resources, many APIs require authentication and authorization. An authentication token, such as an OAuth token or JSON Web Token (JWT), is typically used to identify the user or client making the API request. Once the user is authenticated, an authorization check is performed to determine if the user has the necessary permissions to access the requested endpoint or operation.
If the user is not authorized, the API returns a "Not Authorized" error, indicating that the user lacks the necessary permissions to access the requested resource. In this case, the user may need to request access or provide additional credentials to gain the necessary authorization.
