-
-As part of the [SimpleRPC][SimpleRPCIntroduction] framework we've added an authorization system that you can use to exert fine grained control over who can call agents and actions.
-
-Combined with [Connection Security][SecurityWithActiveMQ], [Centralized Auditing][SimpleRPCAuditing] and Crypto signed messages this rounds out a series of extremely important features for large companies that in combination allow for very precise control over your MCollective Cluster.
-
-The clients will include the _uid_ of the process running the client library in the requests and the authorization function will have access to that on the requests.
-
-There is a sample full featured plugin called [ActionPolicy] that you can use or get some inspiration from.
-
-## Writing Authorization Plugins
-
-Writing an Authorization plugin is pretty simple, the below example will only allow RPC calls from Unix UID 500.
-
-{% highlight ruby linenos %}
-module MCollective::Util
-    class AuthorizeIt
-        def self.authorize(request)
-            if request.caller != "uid=500"
-                raise("Not authorized")
-            end
-        end
-    end
-end
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Any exception thrown by your class will just result in the message not being processed or audited.
-
-You'd install this in your libdir where you should already have a Util directory for these kinds of classes.
-
-To use your authorization plugin in an agent simply do something like this:
-
-{% highlight ruby linenos %}
-module MCollective::Agent
-    class Service<RPC::Agent
-        authorized_by :authorize_it
-
-        # ...
-    end
-end
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-The call extra _authorized`_`by :authorize`_`it_ line tells your agent to use the _MCollective::Util::AuthorizeIt_ class for authorization.
-
-## Enabling RPC authorization globally
-You can enable a specific plugin on all RPC agents in the server config file.  If you do this and an agent also specify it's own authorization the agent will take priority.
-
-{% highlight ini %}
-rpcauthorization = yes
-rpcauthprovider = action_policy
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Note setting _rpcauthorization = no_ here doesn't disable it everywhere, agents that specify authorization will still be used.  This boolean enables the global auth policy not the per agent.
