Description

Right now, our functions are created with permissions to access all needed resources, primarily the object storage buckets and in future key-value storage tables (PR #214)

Instead, we could make SeBS more secure with two additions: allocate permissions only to objects we allocate (e.g. by using prefix sebs-{resource_id} everywhere), and give each function only permissions associated with resources for that specific benchmark.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating resource allocation and function-permission setup, then determine how benchmark-specific resources and the sebs-{resource_id} prefix should be represented; done means functions receive only permissions for resources used by their benchmark.
