Is it possible to restrict access for some endpoints so that not every endpoint can manage the whole mesh or other endpoints?

@TechInterMezzo
Access is restricted according to users, not a specific endpoint (or device). The reason is, endpoints are highly dynamic. As long as you have a permit, you can join to the mesh from any device. That also means that, there is no way to identify an endpoint, since their names and IDs are totally dynamic. Therefore, authentication is only practical by using the permit, which uniquely representing a user.

If such a user-based authentication system doesn't work for your case, please elaborate more about your situation.

I think controlling the access by users is enough for me. But how does that work? How do you allow or deny something for a specific user?
