Description

Feature request

Tests for Access Control Plugin

In test_security, tests for access control plugin are missing. I am wondering if there is a plan to add that? I have some tests that target the access control security plugin, but my tests generate policy file at run time, and clean them up before tests are finished.

If you don't already have a plan for access control plugin, could you let me know if you'd prefer to have tests generate policy file at runtime or commit all security-related files? I'd like to contribute.

thanks.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing tests in test_security and the access control security plugin coverage. Clarify whether policy files should be generated at runtime or committed, then define the plugin behaviors the tests must cover. Done means the access control plugin has reliable tests and any generated policy files are cleaned up appropriately.
