Description
Currently exporter-toolkit only provides support for authentication, it would be great to have support for authorization logic as well.
I can think of two authorization modes that could be useful for different users:
- ABAC via client cert properties (e.g. common name matches a certain regex)
- OAuth2.0 request to a backend like keycloak (e.g. via https://github.com/golang/oauth2)

Research direction
Start by reviewing exporter-toolkit's existing authentication support and determine where authorization decisions would fit. Compare the proposed client-certificate ABAC and OAuth2.0/Keycloak approaches, then define the supported configuration and behavior before implementation. Done means a decided authorization design with coverage for the selected mode or modes.
